Component -Model
ANSWER - :
CONNECTORS -:
- Connectors allow you to create relationship between two nodes in a FEA model when we discretize a complex cad model.
- The connection can be simply by using rigids or some of them will be weld or bolt connection, which can impose more complicated constraints.
Different Types of Connectors -:
- Weld Connectors
- Bolt connectors
- Rigid Connectors
1. Realized Connectors -: Successful creation of connectors will be represented in Green color.
2. Unrealized Connectors -: Unrealized connector will be represented in yellow color.
3. Failed Connectors -: Failed Connectors connector will be represented in Red color.
Most Commonly Used Connectors in HyperMesh -:
- Seam Weld
- Spot Weld
- Adhesive
-Bolt Connectors
