Week 9-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge

Objective :-

Procedure:-

Import the given model to the hypermesh software and select the optistruct solver.
Now check the given model thoroughly and go for meshing,because here given model is in mid surface so no need to again for mid surfacing.
meshing the model quality of mesh is important and i am taking 5mm for the mesh.
After completing the mesh now go to connectors option in that go to seam and select the seam quad (angled +capped+L) and select the components which you have to connect and make sure that connectors are realised.
This is for right rail2&Front truss1.for this connectors spacing is given 5mm and tolerance is 25 mm.
Same for left rail 2&front truss) instead of above connector select the components to connect.
To do spot weld in frame go to spot option in connectors and select the weld in 3 Layers and 5mm diameter.
For hexa adhesive connectors to the seam and select hexa and select the component to connect and create the connector.
for bolt connectors go to bolt option and select the two node and create the bolt connector between the two component this for rear truss 2 & right rail 2 and rear truss 2 & left rail2.
for the right rail 1 and right rail 2 go to the spot option and select the right elements.
For the leaf rail1& left rail 2 go to same a option from above point but select the spring element
For remaining I have selected the rod and bush element to connect remaining parts.

Conclusion:-

I have learned how to connect the parts with the help of connectors and uses of connectors in hypermesh .
