Assignment 1-2D Meshing Challenge

AIM: carry out geomatric cleanup operation in given models

  • Clean the geometry.
  • Extract midsurface.
  • Clean midsurface geometry.
  • Ignore holes less than dia 5mm.
  • Create 2D mesh with target length 5mm, min 3.5mm max 7mm.
  • And assign proper thickness, by creating a generic property.

PROCEDURE:

model-1

  • make the model in topo mode
  • there are several surfaces ara missing in geomatry so we want to do geomatric cleanup in parent surface

  • we want to create missing surfaces for that we use ruled option in surfaces , toggle edges by setting tollarance value
  • need to delete unwanted surface in model and also need to delete a duplicate surface
  • then check for geomatry is it uniform thickness or not , this geomatery is uniform in thickness
  • we can extract the midsurface by using automidsurface option
  • go to misdsurface option and go to midsurface option and set offset+planes+sweep
  • then select the surface and do auto midsurface extraction

  • in midsurface we need to do some geomatric cleanup to avoid minimum element failure
  • replace adjucent point to one by using replace option in quik edit option
  • by setting midline option toggle the feature lines to avoid minimum element failure
  • toggle the holes below 5mm radious by using unsplit surface option and toggle unwanted feature lines
  • then we can start meshing on surface
  • do mesh on each part of mid surface
  • before meshing we need to set quality critirias as min size: 3.5 max size : 7 and target element : 5
  • while meshing always keep equal nodels in sqaure surface to avoid trias
  • use rebuild mesh option to get better quality mesh
  • remove all minimum element failures by adjesting its lenth in using distance option

  • here we got the geomatry with perfect mesh
  • then we need to do normal check
  • check for free edges if any use preview equalance to see disconnected mesh and do equalance
  • then we need to assign thickness to mesh
  • measure the thickness (.9)
  • create property and make thickness = .9
  • then assign property to mesh

MODEL-2

  • do all geomatric cleanup as per done one model-1
  • toggle unwanted feature lines
  • eliminate holes below 5mm
  • replace adjusent points
  • then extract midsurface by using automidsurface option
  • in this geomatry we can only need to mesh some surfaces and we can copy mesh into similer surfaces
  • for this use position option then duplicate the mesh and postion to surfaces
  • always do above mentioned(model-1) procedures for meshing

  • here we got the geomatry with perfect mesh
  • then we need to do normal check
  • check for free edges if any use preview equalance to see disconnected mesh and do equalance
  • then we need to assign thickness to mesh
  • measure the thickness (2)
  • create property and make thickness = 2
  • then assign property to mesh

MODEL-3

  • do all geomatric-cleaunup do as procedure done in above 2 models
  • while meshing use positioningoption
  • and aso we can do reflect option by done in 1half and re3flect to remining surface

  • here we got the geomatry with perfect mesh
  • then we need to do normal check
  • check for free edges if any use preview equalance to see disconnected mesh and do equalance
  • then we need to assign thickness to mesh
  • measure the thickness (2)
  • create property and make thickness = 2
  • then assign property to mesh

RESULT:

  • done geomatric cleanup
  • mid surface extracted
  • done meshing on surface as per given quality critiria
  • assign thickess to models
