Meshing of a cylinder using ANSA

Objective: To mesh the given model using the ANSA tools taught in the Lecture.

*Use element size as 1 unit.

Procedure:

• Open the given model in ANSA software.

• Now select PID in drawmode.

• Now in quality criteria, go to presentation parameters and checkmark on \"Draw CONS in PID, MID,.....mode like in ENT mode\" option and apply.

• Now go to Faces-Set PID, select the faces and middle-click, and create a property.
• Now press Ctrl+P for properties, and create a property by selecting the whole model.

• Now go to mesh option.

• Go to perimeters-length, select the model and middle-click on the mouse button, and assign length as 1 unit - click on ok.

• Now go to mesh generation-spot mesh, select mesh type and select the model and middle-click on the mouse button.

• Mesh is generated.

• Now go to checks-check-manager-Surface_Mesh_Checks_CFD.
• Select the required checks and click on execute.

Result and Conclusion:

• The element length is assigned as 1 unit.
• Mixed spotmesh is generated.
• In the check manager, there are no errors.

Thus, we have meshed the given model successfully using the ANSA.
