Week 4- Challenge

Objective:-

To create 1D element on the parallel bracket with the given cross-section and degree of freedom.

Procedure:-

1. After extracting model fixed the display point on the component get idea of mid-surface i.e surface between two surface bottom and top component.

2. Mid-surface are created to avoid storage space i.e increase by no. of node and element to analyze the processing power of the component of the 3d representing 2d shel element.

3. Create the mid surface of both the component from the geometry section using auto extracting the both bracket & delete the entire solid part of the model.

4. Using tool component move the bracket2 middle surface to surface for the meshing.

5. Before giving thickness assign the material steel to the both component give card id to matt1 by the solver allowed.

6.Create property to both bracket of thickness 2 and 2.5 to both ptype shell element and assigned the material to both property and component.

7. Attach washer split to the entire component of 5mm mesh the component of element type mixed and size 10mm.

8. Before assigning 1d element meshing is done to have proper node in the element and have cross section .

9. Attach RBE2 link of rigid element which have stiffness to the 'a ,d & e' with transitional degree of freedom & give RBE3 link to the 'b with all dof and e with x & y dof.

10. Rod are used for tension and compression bar used to symmmtrical section of six dof beam similar to bar but used in asymmmtrical section.

11. Create rod element from a to a node section assign element type CROD similar to the beam element from b to b node section give orientation to element assign element type CBEAM and bar element from c to c node section property type CBAR.

12. Applying mass of magnitude of 10 mm wih RBE2 link and joining the e & f with spring element with RBE2 link.

13. Before assigning c/s to the element put them in individual property of bar rod beam mass and spring.

14. Putting c/s in the card id of PROD PBEAM PBAR assign matereial of ROD BAR & for BEAM c/s of I-SECTION.

15. After update all property assign to the given element to form in 2D type of element.

RESULT:-

Meshing entire component of mid surface by knowing the geometry and using tool creating the element to give 1D element to the component.

CONCLUSION:-

Created 1D element of the parallel bracket using tool to give desired element.
