Week 4- Challenge

Aim: To mesh the model and assign the given cross section by 1D element

Procedure:

Step 1:-

• Import the model to the software
• Extract mid surface of both the brackets by offset option, to capture the features properly.
• The first extracted mid surface will be stored under new model
• Create a new model id for other bracket and using organize option from tool, assign the mid surface to the newly created model id
• Model ID can be renamed at any point of time
• Create Material ID and assign the same to the model

Step 2:-

• Add washer split to the holes present in the model, by quick edit option
  
• Mesh the extracted mid surface by element size 5mm as shown below
  

Step 3:-

• Establish rigid RBE2 and RBE3 connections on the holes with specified rigid body connection
• Go to hyperbeam and create all the required cross section with respective DOF constrains
• Create new property and give different card name to respective croos section
• Connect the RBE2 and RBE3 with rod and beam element
• Assign the element type ,property type
• Assign the mass in specified node
• Finally establish spring connection in required region by slecting the nodes
  
• Final output is shown in below image.
  

CONCLUSION:

• Understood how to extract mid surface and assign model ID to the same
• Got knowledge on establishing different connection and assigning the cross section
