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

PROCEDURE :

• Mesh all the surfaces first .    

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

• Open component Right_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1
• 2D >> connecter >> seam >> type >> Seam-Quad(angled+capped+L) >> select node >> select component (to be welded ) >> create

          

     2.Create Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1:- Quad elements

• Open components Left_Rail_2 & Front_truss_1
• 2D >>connecter >>seam >> type >> quad >> select node >> select component (to be welded ) >> create

             

3. Create Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1:- Spot weldwith 2 Layers and 5 mm Diameter

• Open components Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Right_Rail_1
• 2D >> connector >>spot >> no. of layer (2) >> type (weld ) >>select node >> select component >> create

           

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

• Open component Front_truss_2, Front_truss_1 & Left_Rail_1
• 2D >>connector >> seam >>type (hexa adhesive ) >> select node >> select component >> create

         

5. Create Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

• Open component Rear_truss_2 & Right_Rail_2
• 2D >> connector >> bolt >> type ( bolt general ) >>select node >> select component >> create hole >> create

 

6. Create Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2:- Bolt Connector

• Open component Rear_truss_2 & Left_Rail_2
• 2D >> connector >> bolt >> type ( bolt general ) >>select node >> select component >> create hole >> create

         

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

• Open component Right_Rail_1 & Right_Rail_2
• 1D >> spot weld >> element (rigid ) >> select node >>select components >> create

        

8. Create Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2:- Spot-weld withSpring Elements

• Open component Left_Rail_1 & Left_Rail_2
• 2D >> connector >> spot >> type (spring ) >>select node >> select component >>create

 

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

 

RESULT :

CONCLUSION :

In this challenge, we learned about how to do 1D connections at various locations how to successfully realize them. Also, we learned a little when to use which type of connector and what all factors decide the selection of connector type. Also, we learned about which all connectors we have
