2. Parts

Parts

Part groupings are ways for Ansys software to automatically group pieces together and create automatic connections. We should create two part groups: the truss K-1 and the tertiary subframe surface.

Truss

Subframe

The remaining flexure mounts and rigid mount pad should remain separate entities.

Thickness

Once the geometries have been assigned to the parts, there are a few thicknesses that need to be applied.

The shell models of the entire subframe part all need a thickness of 2.75 mm, (2.75e-3 m).
