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 2 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
Procedure:
1. Import the geometry in the deck
2. Mesh the geometry with the given criteria
3. Start deploying the mentioned connections using connectors panel
4. Connect the remaining joints with suitable connections
Results:
1. The desired assembly is meshed without errors
2. The assembly is connected with suitable connections and is ready for analysis
Learning Outcomes:
1. Familiarization with the connnections tools
