Week 9-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge

Objective :

• Meshing of given component with target element size of 5 units , wit proper mesh flow and wit low tria concentration .
• Mesh Should pass all the provided Quality criteria .
• Connecting the com[ponent with the connectors properly .

CAD model :

Procedure :

• Initialy model is imported and some Geometry clean up is done .
• The meshing is done component by component with the target element size of 5 units using the 2D - Automesh Tool .
• The Quality check of every component is also checked with providing all the quality criteria in settings .
• The meshed and the Quality checked component can be seen below as ,

Front Truss 1:

Front Truss 2 :

Reinf Plate :

Right Rail 1 :

Right Rail 2 :

Left Rail 1 :

Rear Truss 1 :

• Now we have to Connect this components with connectores .
• Firstly I have connected Right Rail 2 and the Front Truss 1 with the Seam - Quad ( angled + Capped + L ) with weld angle of 45 degree using the 2D - connector - Seam - Quad ( angled + capped + L ) Tool .
  

• Then Left Rail 2 and Front Truss 1 this components are joined by Quad Elements using the 2D - connectors - seam - Quad Elements Tool .

• Then Front truss 2 , Front Truss 1 and Right Rail 1 are joined by the Spot welding with 2 layers and 5 mm diameter using the 2D - connectors - Spot Tool .
  

• Now Front truss 2 , Front Truss 1 and Left Rail 1 are connected with the Hexa ( Adhesive ) using the 2D - connectors - seam Tool with type of seam as Hexa ( Adhesive ) .

• Now Rear Truss 2 and Right Rail 2 are joined together with the Bolt connector using the 2D - Connectors - Bolt ( General ) .

• Rear Truss 2 and Left Rail 2 are also conneted with the bolt connector .
• Right rail 1 and the Right rail 2 are connected with the Spot Weld with Rigid Element .

• Left Rail 1 and the Left Rail 2 are connected with the Spot weld With Spring Element as ,

• Rear Truss 1 and Rear Truss 2 are connected with the Spot Weld with rigid elements are ,
  

• Now the Reinf Plate is connected to the front Truss 1 and front Truss 2 with the Spot Weld Using the Weld Elements as ,
  

• Results :
  

• The Final Hypermesh models are attached below .
  
• The Final meshed Part with Target Element size of 5 units and with prper mesh flow and with Quality check can be seen below ,
  

• The Final all components with the connectros can be seen below as ,
