TOOL TEST 1

MODEL 1

AIM:- To check for the geometrical errors and mesh the given model 1 (Switch panel) with the given element Quality criteria.

Procedure:-

1.) Geometry Cleanup:-

For proper meshing, we have to eliminate the geometry error which will are in the model. CHECK MANAGER > GEOMETRY > EXECUTE.

In the above fig. left-Hand side check manager box is there which shows the error in the model.

Now, this error is eliminated by the auto-fix option or by manually. But I have preferred auto fix in the below fig.

2.) Mid-Surface:-

In this model, the upper surface of it has a uniform thickness. so we can take offset of that one. Using TOPO > FACES > OFFSET.

Now other parts in this model are too complex like the screw one as shown in below fig.

It complex one, so we have done it carefully by one TOPO > FACES > MIDDLE. Then mid-surface is separately mid-surface so they should be connected to each other to complete the model. Using TOPO > FACES > EXTEND to join them.

4.) Quality Criteria and Mesh Properties:-

Now, we assign the Quality criteria and mesh properties to the model which is given to us for meshing.

5.) Meshing:-

Now, we mesh the model with the best option by dividing them into parts for best mesh flow. Using MESH > MESH GENERATIONS > BEST. We other options as we needed but I used this one to be simple and fast.

Then using MESH > SHELL MESH > RECONSTRUCTION to reconstruction for better flow pattern and the SMOOTH option so that we see it smoothly.

CONCLUSION:-

This is done to the model for Geometry cleanup, Mid-surface, Mesh flow, and Mesh pattern.

TIME TAKEN:- 3:15 HRS.

MODEL 2

AIM:- To check the Geometry error and mesh the model 2 with given elemental quality criteria.

PROCEDURE:-

1.) Geometry cleanup:-

As we see in the above fig. their error in the component which we have cleanup. This error can manually be fixed one at a time but without it done by auto-fix.

2.) Mid-surface:-

In this component, I have done the mid-surface with auto mid-surface method and it can be used only for closed volume component.

using TOPO > FACES > MID.SURFACES.

In above 3 fig. the mid.surfure option works. In this, we select the whole component and further, the one side turns green and another turns red & the thickness of the component turns blue. Then only we will get proper mid-surface.

3.) Equality Criteria and Mesh Properties:-

We assign the Quality Criteria and mesh properties to the component, so we can get proper mesh quality to needed for your purpose.

5.) Meshing:-

In meshing, we divide the mid-surface by parts so we can mesh them with proper mesh flow and mesh quality.

CONCLUSION:-

In this, we have done geometry cleanup, mid-surface, and Mesh with mesh flow and quality.

TIME TAKEN:- Around 3:45 to 4:00 HRS
