Week 9 - Creating connection for Rear door

aim of this challange is to practice on different types of connection like bush joint, spot weld, seam weld, bolt join in ANSA.

bush joint its used where we have rubber joint for eg glass and door panel.

for bush joint we will first create a curve at the edge of glass where connection is to be made using cons2curve and then connect using connectmulti. this curve is brogh in the center of the joining surfaces using transform move command.

then using convert option its changed to spotline.

now open the connection manager and select the spot line and middle click will pop up window for connections.

here in P1 using Fn+F1 key select PID and P2 select PID to be connected. and in clipboard panel for bush joint RBE3-CBUSH-RBE3 need to be selected, assign search distance and assign property id in BODY PBUSH using Shift+? .

using realize and apply we can get the connection.

for seam weld we will first create a curve at the edge of lelemnts connection is to be made using cons2curve and then connect using connectmulti.

then using convert option its changed to seamweld.

now open the connection manager and select the spot line and middle click will pop up window for connections.

here in P1 using Fn+F1 key select PID and P2 select PID to be connected. and in clipboard panel for seam weld overlap shell need to be selected, assign search distance and assign property id in BODY using Shift+? .

using realize and apply we can get the connection.

for spot weld we will first create a pont using COG where connection is to be made

then using convert 3d points option its changed to spot weld point.

now open the connection manager and select the spot weldpint and middle click will pop up window for connections.

here in P1 using Fn+F1 key select PID and P2 select PID to be connected. and in clipboard panel for RBE3-HEXA-RBE3 is selected, assign search distance and assign property id in BODY using Shift+? .

using realize and apply we can get the connection.

for bolt connection: go to nastran desk. here using RBE2 manynodes/twonodes in elements we can assing bolt connection.
