Week 9-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge
- Do 2d mesh on surface
- Then we need to connect with connectors as per given crititria
- Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
- we need to connect free edges of these 2 surfaces with seam weld
- select these 2 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 2D-connectors-seam
- make location into nodelist
- set tolerance into 10
- set type into seam-quad(angle+capped+L)
- then create nodes in one surface
- always avoid nodes in corners
- select 2 surface to connect then create
- then connector will create
fig:
- Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements
- we need to connect free edges of these 2 surfaces with seam weld
- select these 2 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 2D-connectors-seam
- make location into nodelist
- set tolerance into 10
- set type into quad elements
- then create nodes in one surface
- always avoid nodes in corners
- select 2 surface to connect then create
- then connector will create
fig 
- Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weldwith 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
- Select 3 geometry and isolate only
- Go to 2d-connectors-spot
- Make location into nodelist
- Set tolerance into nodelist
- Number of layers into 3 layer
- Set type into weld
- then create nodes in one surface
- always avoid nodes in corners
- select 3 surface to connect then create
- then connector will create
fig
- Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)
- select these 3 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 2D-connectors-seam
- make location into nodelist
- set tolerance into 10
- set type into seam-hexa(adhesive)
- then create nodes in one surface
- always avoid nodes in corners
- select 3 surface to connect then create
fig
- Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
- Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
- in both task we need to connect with bolt connector
- select these 2 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 2D-connectors-bolt
- make location into nodelist
- set tolerance into 10
- set type into bolt general
- make into create hole if none
- then create
- in bolt always create on element surface
fig
- Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements
- select these 2 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 1D-connectors-spotweld
- make tolerance into 10 or more
- set element config into rigid
- set weld location into nodes
- set search tolerance into 10
- then create
- Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld withSpring Elements
- select these 2 geometries and isolate it only
- for that go to 1D-connectors-spotweld
- make tolerance into 10 or more
- set element config into spring
- set weld location into nodes
- set search tolerance into 10
- Rest all the component left Join them with suitable connectors
We connected rest components randomly with above methodes
Fig
Results :
- we meshed above component with given quality critiria
- we connect given component with mentioned connectors
