CAD MODEL:

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1: MESHING THE COMPONENTS.

• To do meshing first i need to delete the whole solid in the goemetry
• and then go to 2d>automesh> and select the surface and given element legth as 4 and done meshing the whole component seperatly

STEP 2 : CREATE CONNECTORS

1. Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)

• inorder to create a seam connector we go to 2d > connectors>seam.
• select type as Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
• give tolerence 10
• give spacing 4
• slect the nodes needed to be have those connections
• and select the components which is going to be connected
• and click create.

2. Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

• inorder to create a Quad elements go to 2d> connectors> seam

• select type as Quad

• give tolerence 10
• give spacing 4
• slect the nodes needed to be have those connections
• and select the components which is going to be connected
• and click create.

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

• inorder to create a Spot weld with 3 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
• select 2d> connectors > spot>
• select type as weld
• give tolerence 20
• give diametre 5
• give number of layers equal to 3
• select the nodes neeeded to be connectod
• select the 3 components
• click create

4. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)

• to create Hexa (Adhesive) connectors go 2d> connectors >seam>

• select type as Hexa (Adhesive)

• give tolerence 10

• give spacing 4
• select the nodes to be connected
• select the components
• click create

5. Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

• to create bolt connectors we go to 2d > connectors> bolt
• slect type as general
• and slect create hole if none option
• give tolerence 10
• give number of layers 2
• select the nodes to be connected
• select the components
• click create

6. Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

• to create bolt connectors we go to 2d > connectors> bolt
• slect type as general because the type is not specified.
• and slect create hole if none option
• give tolerence 10
• give number of layers 2
• select the nodes to be connected
• select the components
• click create

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

• to create Spot-weld with Rigid Elements we go to 2d> connectors> spot >
• select type as rigid
• give tolerence 10
• give diametre 5
• give numpber of layers 2
• select the nodes to be connected
• select the components
• click create

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

• to create Spot-weld with Spring Elements go 2d> connectors>spot
• select type as spring
• give tolerence 10
• give diametre 5
• give numpber of layers 2
• select the nodes to be connected
• select the components
• click create

9. Rest all the component left Join them with suitable connectors

Here i connected some of the sufaces with some connectors .

• 1. bolt cylinder bar connection
• here i give tolerence 10
• cylinder dia 5 and cylinder l1 and l2 as 4
• and give numper of layers 2
• and select the node to get created
• and selected the components needed to be connected
• and click create

• 2.seam penta (mig)
• to create penta (mig) go 2d> connectors> seam>
• select type as penta mig
• give tolerence 10
• give spacing 4
• and tick right angled
• and select the node to get created
• and selected the components needed to be connected
• and click create

• 3. spot rbe3 ( load transfer)
• here to connect surface with spot rbe3 ( load transfer) i go 2d> connectors>spot
• select type as rbe3 ( load transfer)
• give tolerence as 10
• give number of layers 2
• and select the node to get created
• and selected the components needed to be connected
• and click create

• 4. spot acm (shell gap)
• here to connect surface with spot rbe3 ( load transfer) i go 2d> connectors>spot
• select type as acm (shell gap)
• give tolerence as 10
• give number of layers 2
• give diametre 4
• and select the node to get created
• and selected the components needed to be connected
• and click create

FINAL MODEL:

RESULT:

Createed connectors and attached the various parts of the given model.
