Check component type Sheet Metel or Plastic Component

Our Downloaded Model is Sheet Metal Component because its thickness is Uniforrm so we move for geometry check

Here below image its show status is green so no geometrical Error present in component

So we measure thickness of component at different places for better understanding

Now we go for Midsurface here we have two Option

1. Manual by using Offset Command

2. Skin Method Automatic

So me move with Manual method i.e. Offset Method

so hit on Offset Command select offset value check direction of offset if its parralel to area of selection then take offset value negative but we require midsurface so divide by 2

select property type always ask

Here we can seen Lots of geometrical error observed 1st we assign property ID and double click on it

here we check geometrical error in midsurface

Its shows 4385 error so we 1st try to Auto fix option

here Auto fix option is not work properly

So we again return to our parent geometry and again check geometrical error it again shows green mark so we move with Automatic midsurfacing i.e. by using skin option

here skin option also not work.

..

Here we move with casting / exctrusion process set minimum thickness and max thickness

here we can seen that midsurface is generate so we enable face option

Here parent geometry is invisible and only shows Midsurface

we need to asign PID so we go to Set PID option select entire midsurface and create new PID

Create New PID and double ckick on it

we get automaticaly mesh midsurface so we set Quality criteria press F11

After That we need to check Quality criteria so we enable hidden mode check Quality failure and fix it by using

• Number
• Length
• join
• split
• swap Commands

we also use reconstruct for better meshing flow

Here we can seen our Model meshing Number of tria and quards present in model

No Quality faiure observed in Meshing

Hence in this we use following steps of command.

• geometric check
• Midsurface
• Meshing
• Quality criteria to complet Project 1
