Given model :
Meshed the components with respective element size using 2D> Automesh option.
After meshing
connector and Attach the various parts of the given model
1. Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)
FFOR this connection, 2D>connector>seam selecting type as Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L); then giving a spacing of 5units, tolerence 10, weld angle 45; cap angle 60 and selecting nodes where we need the connection and selecting components then create option . A seam weld has been created between the components.
2. Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements
FOR this connection, 2D>connector>seam selecting type as quad; then selecting the components and nodes where we need the connection and selecting components then create option.
3. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter
for connection 2D> connector>spot> weld type, then keepting the number of layers in auto then selecting the components where connection needed. tolerence 10; diameter 5 units are entered then create opiton. 
after connection
4. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)
FOR this connection, 2D>connector>seam selecting type as Hexa Adhesive > spacing 5 units > selecting nodes and components to create the connection.
5. Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector
2D>connections > bolt option is selected, then secting nodes and setting tolerence value 10 ; selecting components and create to create a bolt connection between the components.
6. Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements
7. Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements
8. Rest all the component left Join them with suitable connectors
After connecting all components
Learning Outcomes:
Learn to make connections between components.
