Week 9-Creation of 1D Connectors Challenge

AIM: Create connector and Attach the various parts of the given model.

With this create a quality mesh with target element size 5Units.

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly we need to import .hm model

Import > import model > select file > import.

• Then check the geometry properly, like – construction line.

• Then we need to create a mesh, and check the quality criteria of the mesh.

2D > auto mesh > element size 5 > select surface > mesh.

• Now we need to create a connector according to the question.

2D > connectors > seam > type (seam-quad angle+capped+L) > select node > select component > tolerance 5 > weld angle 45° > cap angle 45 > create.

• Quad element connector.

2D > connectors > seam > type (quad) > select node > select component > tolerance 5 > create.

• Spot weld

2D > connector > spot > select node > select comp > tolerance 5> diameter 5 > create.

2D > connector > area > type (adhesives) > select node > select comp > tolerance 5 > create .

• Bolt connector

2D > connector > bolt > select node > select comp > create hole, if none > create

• Spot weld with rigid element and spot weld with spring element.
