Project 1 - Meshing of Floor Panel

                                       Project 1 - Meshing of Floor Panel

Aim: To Extract a mid-surface of the Floor and to create a proper mesh flow in the model with proper               quality criteria.  


 Quality Criteria Value

• Target Element Length = 5 Units
•  Aspect Ratio = 5
•  Skewness = 45
•  Warping 15
•  Taper 0.5
•  Min. Length 2 Units
• Max. Length 8 Units
• Min angle Quad 45
•  Max angle Quad 135
• Min angle Tria 20
• Max angle Tria 120
• Tria % 10
• 
  Procedure :
  
  Topology and Geometry clean up 
                     
• Imported the file to ANSA GUI.
  
  
  
  
•  Did topo , checked for geometrical error. Cleared the geometrical errors by auto fix and by deleting surfaces and creating new surface.     
  
  Midsurface
  
  
• Extracted midsurface using Midsurface > Skin process. Assigned the right color for surfaces. 
  
  Meshing 
  
  
• Meshed the midsurface using batch mesh, improved the mesh quality and errors using smooth , reconnstruct and fix quality options. 
  
  Assigning thickness
  
  
• As the thickness of the whole floor panel is 1mm , thickness not assigned.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Conclusion

  The extraction of the midsurface is done by skin method and the meshing is done by Batch meshing.
