Week 9 - Creating connection for Rear door

Objective

• THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO DEPLOY DIFFERENT PID'S FOR THE COMPONENTS AND TO ESTABLISH SUITABLE CONNECTIONS.

Procedures

• GIVEN CAD MODEL WAS EXPORTED TO ANSA AND PID WAS CREATED FOR EACH PART USING @MESH>MACROS>SET PID.
• DOOR HINGE WAS FIRST CONNECTED TO THE DOOR BODY USING BOLTS @TOPO>POINTS>ON COG AND THEN @CONVERT>3D POINTS>BOLTS. FURTHER USED CONNECTION MANAGER TO REALISE THE JOINTS AS RIGID SURFACE. (SINGLE CLUSTER RBE2 WAS DEPLOYED)
• DEGREE OF ROTATION FOR 'Z' AXIS WAS REMOVED BETWEEN HINGES CONNECTION @NAST>ELEMENT>RBE2 AND THEN AFTER CONNECTING @NAST>ELEMENTS>INFO>CM-'12345'.
• SINGLE CLUSTER RBE2 WAS DEPLOYED AT DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE DOOR.
• SPOT WELD WAS APPLIED AT ONE POINT USING @TOPO>POINTS>ON COG AND @CONVERT>3D POINTS>SPOT WELD. CONNECTION WAS DEFINED USING CONNECTION MANAGER. (RBE3-HEXA-RBE3 WAS USED)
• FOR THE DOOR HANDLE USED @NAST>ELEMENTS>RBE2 AND MASTER NODES WERE CONNECTED. MASS HAS TO BE ASSIGNED AT CENTRE NODE SO USED @NAST>ELEMENTS>CONMI>CONM2>NODES. (APPLIED MASS IN TONE)
• FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GLASS AND DOOR FRAME USED @MESH>PERIMETERS>FEAT2CURVE>SELECT AREAS AND THEN @TRANSFORM>CURVES>SPOTLINE.
• THEN THE CURVES WAS REALISED USING CONNECTION MANAGER. (RBE3-CBUSH-RBE3)
• ALL OTHER CBUSH ELEMENTS WERE DIRECTED TO GLOBAL COORDINATE USING DATABSE OPTIONS BY MODIFICATION.

• AFTER ASSIGNING WEATHER STRIP CBUSH WAS DEPLOYED @SAMPLE 2.

Conclusion

• ESTABLISHING CONNECTION UPON DIFFERENT AREAS OF A COMPONENT WAS LEARNED USING DIFFENT METHODS.
