Shell meshing

Steps:

Open the hm file in hypermesh

Set the display view as By topo

Go to visualization options and check for free edges ,suppressed & non-manifold edges/

If any such edges are present, go to quick edit & toggle those edges

Replace point option to close small gaps,

Check for duplicate surfaces, if found delete it.

Once component is free of duplicate surfaces, missing surfaces, extract midsurface

Make the midsuface as current component

Toggle the unneccessary edges,create partitons as required.

From the 2D page, click automesh option , set the element length,no of nodes,

Avoid trias as much as possible.

Once the 2D mesh is created, check the element quality

If any elements were failed

Use translate option & Distance option based on the requirement

From node edit option, use align ,associate,etc.

In order to speed up the mesh, we can use reflect,project, etc.

Once the element has attained the desired criteria

Assign material & property
