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 :
- open model, feed quality criteria and go to automesh and mesh the model.
- for seam weld go to 2d-->connectors-->seam --> type . select the type of weld select node list select components select layers and generate the weld.
- for spot weld do same as well .
- for bolts do same , but select only one node and hit create hole if none and create bolt.
Conclusion: by doing this challenge we learned about the connectors, and how to connect components using different connectors.
