Project 1 - 2D meshing on the instrumental Panel

Aim:

For the given instrumental panel to check for geometrical errors and mesh with given element quality criteria and thickness has to be assigned.

Step 1: Geometry Check –Errors done for parent geometry

Step 2: Mid Surface of the Component taken Successfully and I adopted by Manual Method because good mesh flow achieved in this while compared to casting or skin method.

Different PIDS fetched for different components

Dog houses are captured like this

Ribs are captured like this

Mid Surface of the given IP model

Step 3: Geometry Check for Mid surface – All issues Fixed

Step 4: Setting quality criteria

Step 5: Setting Mesh parametres

Step 6: Mesh Generation –Best Mesh Preferred area by area

Step 7: Clearing the quality Criteria with the help of

Grids - Move free command,

Shell Mesh -Reconstruction Command, Reshape Command, Smooth Operation

Elements – Split, Swap and New

Step 8: Thickness assigned – Draw shell as solid

Learning outcomes:

How to utilize Geometry –Check command

How to utilize Manual mid generation method

How to set different PIDS

How to set quality criteria and mesh parametres

How to set use Mesh generation – Best method

How to clear the quality issues

How to assign thickness for the component

Conclusion:

For the given instrumental panel geometrical errors and mesh with given element quality criteria and thickness has to be assigned successfully.
