Creating 1D Elements Using Hypermesh

1. Import the given CAD model by import Geometry in Hypermesh Optistruct and an paralell bracket was created
2. The plates Of the Brackets are checked for thickness and their midsurfaces are extracted by Mid surface option In the geometry pannel and Two Mid surfaces of the Brackets were saved

3.Quality check was conducted and Washer split was created in an offset og 5mm from the given Pin holes and 2D mesh was generated on both the brackets.
4. After meshing RBE2 links are created by Rigids option From 1D pannel and RBE3 links are created as same, as per the given Data.
5.The required BAR, ROD and BEAM was created Using hyper beam in 1D panel according to the given dimension,Thickness and Areas
6.An Material was allocated to Both the bracket (steel).

7.For each bracket Diffrent properties are created with PSHELL element and it was assigned to same material of the brackets

8. As like properties for the brackets, Different properties for BEAM,BAR and ROD was created and those propeties were associated with respective brackets.
9. The ROD, BEAM and BAR are assigned the properties and material accordingly.

10.The properties were updated once again in in prespective Coordinates by using BAR and ROD options in 1D pannel.

11.An spring elemnt was created in between given coordinates with RBE2 links connected .

12.The mass of Magnitude 10 was given to those RBE2 links where mentioned above.

13.Thereby required 1D elements on the Given Brackets are created.

By taking up the given challenge, I was able to gain knowledge and Skills to use different 1D elements available in Hypermesh.
