Week 7-12-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge

AIM:

For this challenge, We have to mesh the given geometry. with given quality parameters that we have to follow and need to make connections for the given components.

Target Element size - 5 Units

S.N	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Aspect Ratio	5
2	Skewness	45
3	Warping	15
4	Taper	0.5
5	Min. Length	2 Units
6	Max. Length	8 Units
7	Min angle Quad	45
8	Max angle Quad	135
9	Min angle Tria	30
10	Max angle Tria	110
10	Tria %	15

PROCEDURE:

Step-1:-

We have to import the given geometry.

We need to check in topo mode to find the errors in the mid-surface which is given to us.

Step-2:-

I set the criteria according to the given parametric values.

I mesh the geometry and corrected the failed elements

Step-3:- Connection-1

As given I created connection between Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)

Step-4:-

Connection-2:Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

Step-5:-

Connection-3: Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter

Step-6:-

Connection-4: ront_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)

Step-7:-

Connection-5: Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

Step-8:-

Connection-6: Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector.

Step-9:-

Connection-7: Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements.

Step-10:-

Connection-8: Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements.

Step-11:-

Connection-9: Front_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector.

Step-12:-

Connection-10: Reinf Plate, Front Truss-1 & Front Truss-2 - Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)

Step-13:-

Connection-11: Front_truss-1 & Front_truss-2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements.

Step-14:-

Connection-12: Right Rail-1 & Rear Truss-2 :- Bolt Connector(CBAR)

Step-15:-

Connection-13: Left Rail-1 & Rear Truss-2 :- Bolt Connector(Clip Washer Nodes)

RESULT:

Finally, I completed making connections.
