Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

OBJECTIVE:

To mesh the Given component with the Size of 5 Units and to Create 1D elements on the following component with given cross-section and Degree of freedom.

CAD MODEL IMAGE:

PROCEDURE:

• The geomentry of the given model is been checked.
• The cad model is cleaned using the auto cleanup tool.
• Washer Split has been create to each pin holes.
• Material has been created and property is associated with the bracket 1 and 2.

• The value of the nodes is been assigned to get good mesh flow.

• 1D element is been created using the rigid and RBE3 tool.
• The RBE2 and RBE3 is created as per the given values below

• Rod element:- Translational DOF should be Constrained with RBE2 link

  Cross-Section: BOX- Dimension a= 12 mm.

  dimension b=10 mm.

  Thickness t= 0.75 mm.

• Beam element:- All DOF should be constrained with RBE3 link

  Cross-Section: I Section- Dimension a= 8 mm

  Dimension b= 10 mm

  Dimension c= 8.5 mm

  Thickness t1= 0.75 mm

  Thickness t2= .6 mm

  Thickness t3= .6 mm

• Bar element:- Constrain only x and y DOFs With RBE3 link

  Cross-section: X section- Dimension DIM1= 5 mm

  Thickness DIM2= 1.2 mm

  Dimension DIM3= 10 mm

  Thickness DIM4= 1.2mm

FINAL IMAGE MODEL:

RESULT:

The mesh as been deployed to the given component with the Size of 5 Units and the creation of the 1D elements on the following component with given cross-section and Degree of freedom is completed.
