Week 9-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge

Aim - To clean up geometry, mesh the elements and attach connectors as per the given requirements.

Requirements -

Procedure -

1. Open the model and clean up geometry :

2. Mesh the given Model -

Apply connector as per requirement :

Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L)

Connect as shown :

Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter

Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)

Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements

Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements

Rest all the components left Join them with suitable connectors

The final image of the model is as shown :

Learning Outcomes :

Learned different types of connectors.

Learned the debugging of connectors.

Learned the effect of mesh on connectors.

Result :

The model has successfully meshed and the connectors and deployed.
