Project 1 - Meshing of Floor Panel

                                               REPORT

OBJECTIVE

To mesh the given floor panel with good meshflow and less number of trias satisfying the quality criteria.

PROCEDURE

In Topo module first performed the faces-topo then checks- geometry- autofix, some errors left and i fix it by faces - deleting and creating new surface using faces-new command. Deleted Unwanted hotpoints using hotpoints- delete command. In mesh module perimeter-length, set macros and perimeter to 5. Started manual midsurface generation using faces-offset.

In MESH module, setup quality criteria values in quality criteria tab. Setup target element length in mesh parameters. Started geometry cleanup for meshing, for that i use , in MESH ,macros- cut,join ,in TOPO, faces-delete, new.

For mesh generation, i use, best, spotmesh command. To correct the mesh i used shellmesh-reconstruction,smooth. And elements- split, swap,join. After the meshing it shows some unmeshed elements left and i use showonly and mesh it all. Finally i use elements- release command to dettach FE and geometry apart so FE is released from geometry. Deleted all the cuts in FE using macros-join by setting keep in optionlist so the mesh does not get distorted.

RESULT

 Midsurface is generated and meshed the given component with good meshflow satisfying given quality criteria. There are total 49775 elements with 47361 quard elements and 2414 tria elements.
