FRAME ASSEMBLY USING DIFFERENT CONNECTORS IN HYPERMESH

objective :

The main aim of this project is to connect the different components of a frame assembly using different connectors in hypermesh.

procedure:

• imported the assembly file in hypermesh software.
• since the components are surface checked for geometry cleanup.
• splitted the surfaces to attain fine mesh.
• generated 2d mesh elements with the element size of 5mm.
• connected the components with the suitable connectors.
• saved the file.

description:

• the connetor which is used here is seam weld of type seam quad(angled+capped+L).
• the spacing used here is 5mm with the tolerance of 10mm.
• the weld angle is 45 deg with the cap angle of 70 deg and runoff angle of 10 deg.

front truss 2 ,left rail 2:

description:

• the connetor which is used here is seam weld of type quad.
• the spacing used here is 5mm.
• the tolerance is 10mm.

right rail 1, rear truss 2:

description:

• the connetor which is used here is area adhesives.
• the tolerance is 10mm.
• the connector is of shell gap type with 1 coat.

left rail 1, rear truss 2:

description:

• the connetor which is used here is area adhesives.
• the tolerance is 10mm.
• the connector is of shell gap type with 1 coat.

result:

hence,the different components of the frame assembly are connected using different connectors in hypermesh.
