Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

Aim: to mesh the given model and establish connections with various 1D elements.

Procedure:

1. Import the given model
2. Extract the midsurface with Geometry > midsurface tool
3. Assign properties to the midsurface
4. Mesh it with 2D > automesh with an average element size of 5 mm
5. Create RBE2 and RBE3 links wherever necessary from 1D section
6. Create the bar, rod and beam connections with those RBE3 and RBE3 links
7. Assign masses using the links
8. Define spring connections where necessary

Result:
