Week 4- Challenge

Objective : To create 1D elements on the given component with given cross section and DOF .

Procedure : The image was imported and inspected . The display fixed points function was used to highlight fixed points .

The solids were removed from the component and two midsurfaces were extracted seperately.

Washer splits were applied to all circular enitites using quick edit function.

The component was meshed with an element size of 5.

Meshing at circular areas were corrected .

Nodes were slected and central RBE2 and RBE3 elements were created on a , b, c respectively .

Using Hyperbeam the given cross section of rod , bar and beam were entered.

.

The created sections were given respective names and properties .

Rod , Beam and bar was created on respective central nodes from their functions of 1D menu .

RBE2 nodes were created on circles at d and e . Mass of magnitude 10 was given at 4 points of RBE2 using mass option of 1D option .

2 nodes each were marked at the 2 brakets to create 2 spring elements on left and right side respectively.

.

Result : The final model as per given specifications was thus obtained .
