Week 6 - Creating connection for Rear door

AIM:

To create connections for the rear door FE model.

OBJECTIVES:

perform suitable connections for the model.

connect every elements.

PROCEDURE:

• import geometry.
• open the geometry in NASTRAN if the given file in .nas
• check the model for recognising the needful connections.

bolt connections

• create a 3D point
• on cng>loop selection
• convert 3D point into bolt
• use connection manager
• select the PID
• set FE as bolt
• give search distance
• use manual selection for bolt connection if needed.
• nastran>elements>RBE2> many nodes>2 nodes.

WEATHER STRIP (C-BUSH)

• mesh module>perimeter>feat2curve
• convert >curve>spot line
• connection manager
• fe type as RBE3 CBUSH RBE3
• give spacing distance
• create bush pid
• apply and realize.

HINGE CONNECTION

• Nastran>element>RBE2>many node
• connect master nodes uding 2 pont nod
• reduce the degree of freedom intp 12345

SPOT WELD

• Create a 3D point
• covert>spot weld
• fe type as RBE3 HEXA RBE3
• give search distance
• crate new pid and apply

DOOR HANDLE

• Nastran.Elements> RBE2
• give mass for the nod
• nastran>elements>conmass
• give suitable mass

RESULT

Completed the rear door model with suitable connections.
