FRAME ASSEMBLY USING DIFFERENT CONNECTORS IN HYPERMESH
objective :
The main aim of this project is to connect the different components of a frame assembly using different connectors in hypermesh.
procedure:
- imported the assembly file in hypermesh software.
- since the components are surface checked for geometry cleanup.
- splitted the surfaces to attain fine mesh.
- generated 2d mesh elements with the element size of 5mm.
- connected the components with the suitable connectors.
- saved the file.

front truss 1,front truss 2 ,reinf plate:
description:
- the connetor which is used here is spot weld of type bar2.
- the No.of layers is 2 with the tolerance of 10mm.
- the connectors are assigned with the material steel.
- the connectors have the property of rectangular cross section of 0.5*0.5
right rail 2, front truss 2:
description:
- the connetor which is used here is seam weld of type seam quad(angled+capped+L).
- the spacing used here is 5mm with the tolerance of 10mm.
- the weld angle is 45 deg with the cap angle of 70 deg and runoff angle of 10 deg.
front truss 2 ,left rail 2:
description:
- the connetor which is used here is seam weld of type quad.
- the spacing used here is 5mm.
- the tolerance is 10mm.
right rail 1, rear truss 2:
description:
- the connetor which is used here is area adhesives.
- the tolerance is 10mm.
- the connector is of shell gap type with 1 coat.
left rail 1, rear truss 2:
description:
- the connetor which is used here is area adhesives.
- the tolerance is 10mm.
- the connector is of shell gap type with 1 coat.
result:
hence,the different components of the frame assembly are connected using different connectors in hypermesh.
