Creation of 1D Connectors in Hypermesh

OBJECTIVE :

The component given to be connected with below instructions:

Mesh the given Component with a Mesh size of 5mm.

Create connector and Attach the various parts of the given model

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

2. Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

3. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weld with 3 Layers and 5 mm Diameter

4. Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1:- Hexa (Adhesive)

5. Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

6. Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

7. Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Rigid Elements

8. Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld with Spring Elements

9. Rest all the component left Join them with suitable connectors

COMPONENT:

PROCEDURE :

- Check for topological errors in all the components one by one

- Extract mid surface of the component to be meshed.

- Set the quality criteria parameter ,

click F10 > Settings > Criteria editor,

MESHING :

Press F12, for automesh > Select Surface

Options to be considered,

- Use Quality index clean up tools to removed meshing re- works.

- Smooth option to smooth the mesh region and align accordingly.

- "Edit element" from geometry to clean up surface and fix up surface issues.

- Key "F6" to create, split, create and combine elements.

- "Shift + F7" is used to align the mesh to the surface/line/plane/vector

- Use "O" key to

keep mesh - Keeps mesh without re arranging other meshed region

Remesh model - Helps in remeshing

Advanced remesh - Equivalences the meshed region nearby when meshed.

- Rebuild mesh to create inbuilt mesh optimizer

- Element clean up if all the method to optimize the element fails.

- Reflect option to mirror the activity.
