Project 1 - 2D meshing on the instrumental Panel

AIM:For the given component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh with the given element Quality criteria. After meshing the component the thickness has to be assigned.

precedure :

1. import the geometry in the ansa.
2. set cons resolution to 1.
3. using faces new option close the geometry.
4. after closing use topo and orient .
5. use check geometry and remove errors using auto fix
6. for unchecked faces use faces cut and make cut so the face apperes
7. in case of missing faces use faces new.do the same for cracked faces.
8. once the geometry is clear give mesh parameters and quality criteria .
9. use mid surface cast for genrating fe.
10. use align manager to fix the generated improper fe.
11. give proper definition to the surface generated if needed.
12. for capturing the correct geometry, made a cut and convert cut into curve
13. use shell mesh fill to generate the elements . allgin elemts and perimeters by adding adequate hot points on perimeter.
14. remove the errors in mesh using imporve option.

outcome: plastic components are meshed using different tools in ansa.

conclusion: By doing this challenge I learned how to model components using ansa
