Week 9-Challenge

Objective: To create various types of connectors as mentioned above.

Procedure:

• Import the geometry and mesh the model for given meshing criteria.
• After meshing create the connectors one by one.

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

To create connectors go to 2d-connectors-seam-Quad(angled+capped+L).Select the nodes by path option and create the connector.

By following above procedure the given connectors can be created.

2)Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

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

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

5)Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

6)Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

7)Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements:Not applied

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

And all other remaining faces are connected with suitable connectors.

Conclusion:

1) By solving above exercise I come to know various types of connectors used in actual problem scenario which is helpful for problem solving.
