Project 1 - 2D meshing on the instrumental Panel
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1: GEOMETRIC CLEANUP
Commands Used:
TOPO Module: Orient, Topo, Offset, Delete, Cut, New, Dach, Project, New face.,etc.
After creating the middle surface check geometry by check manager option and clear all the errors one by one.
Before Geometry cleanup:







STEP 2: OFFSET MID SURFACE
Commands used:
TOPO Module: Orient, Topo, Offset, Middle ., etc.
• Orient the cad model and check all faces are connected, if not try Topo to connect.
• Measure the thickness of the cad model.




STEP 3: ASSIGN PID & THICKNESS
- Assign the PID for all the individual parts and mention the thickness.

Commands Used:
MESH Module: Macros(cut, join, set PID)
Hot points (insert, delete, project)
Mesh generation (Spot mesh, Erase)
Sheel mesh (Smooth, Reconstruct)
Element (join, split, new, freeze/unfreeze)
Specify the quality criteria that needed and mesh all the areas.
Before meshing create a temporary macro by using the zone cut option in hole perimeters.
Remove the tria in hole perimeters and create a good mesh by reconstruct and smooth option.
