Week 9-Challenge

OBJECTIVE

Mesh the given Component with a Mesh size of 5mm.

• Create connector and Attach the various parts of the given model
• Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
• Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements
• Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 3 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
• Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)
• Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
• Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
• Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements
• Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements

CAD

PROCEDURE

• The given model is checked for topology errors and modified and made sure that there is no free edges other than holes an edges, then mesh using auto mesh option (f12) with the target size of 5mm

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

• From 2D-connectors-seam-type(seam-quad(angled+capped+L)) spacing of 5mm and the components to be connected is selected and the connection is made

Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

• From 2D-connectors-seam-type(seam-quad) spacing of 5mm and the components to be connected is selected and the connection is made

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

• From 2D-connectors- Spot weld with 3 Layers and 5 mm Diameter spacing of 5mm and the components to be connected is selected and the connection is made

Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)

• Similarly from 2D connectors-seam-type(hexa adhesive ) is chose and the spacing is given as 5mm which is due to the target size of 5 and components where selected and created

Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

same as the above connection the node is to selected since there is no hole we have option which helps us in create hole and then it connects it with the bolt

Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements

From 2d connector spot-type(rigid) the nodes were selected and the components to be connected were selected with the spacing of 5mm and created

Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements

From 2d connector spot-type(Spring) the nodes were selected and the components to be connected were selected with the spacing of 5mm and created

Rest of the components were connected using the rigids
