MESHING THE GIVEN COMPONENT AND ASSIGNING THE THICKNESS

Objective:

• To extract the mid surface of the given component and mesh the mid surface based on the given quality criteria.
• To assign the thickness after meshing and checking the quality of the mesh.

Procedure:

1. Import the geometry.

2. Perform geometry review.

3. Clean up the geometry using different surface editing options i.e., Toggle edge, suppress edge, etc,.

• Defeature the fillets which are below 5 mm.

3. Extract Mid surface:

• Extract mid surface option and change the extraction method to offset and extract the mid surfaces of all the given components.

4. After topology cleanup extract the mid surface using auto midsurafce option.

5. Using auto mesh under 2d panel mesh the component with target element length as 5.

• Go to the 2D menu and go to auotmesh panel and select the surfaces to mesh and change the target element length to 5mm and mesh the surface and switch between the densities of the element good mesh appears.

6. After meshing remove the as many as trias from the mesh using drag tria in the quality index and using a smooth option make the mesh flow proper.

• Try to remove as many possible numbers of tria elements by dragging them out or by remeshing them by tweaking between the densities of the number of elements.
• The rotational quads can be removed by remeshing them.
• After meshing change the mesh option to keep mesh and unspilt the surfaces wherever the surfaces are splitted for meshing.

7. Using element optimize and node optimize clear the failed elements from the mesh.

8. After removing trias under tools panel using check elements panel check the elements for the given criteria.

• Make the element to surface comparison and project the elements which are not properly mapped to the surface.

9. After meshing and quality checking assign the thickness to the component.

Results and Conclusion:

• Given components are extracted using mid surface option successfully.
• All the components are meshed and the quality criteria are checked based on given values.
