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.

Objective:

1. Import the xx. step file into ANSA GUI

2. To check up for the proper surface to extract the mid-surface.

3 . To clean up the geometry where the crack of mesh has been found.

4. Extract the midsurface using the skin option, or if you go the meshing through the Align manager, you have to use the Casting method.

5. Check for the quality criteria if a failure occurs sort it out.

6. Assign the thickness for the mesh.

Procedure:

To Import the model into the ANSA GUI

1. Import the xx. step file into ANSA GUI

2. checked for geometry cleanup and perform topology

3. Then fix geometrical errors in the model like unchecked faces, single cons, triple cons, and collapsed cons.

4. There were so many errors in the given models.

5. Once Clearing all the surfaces, for reference the picture is attached below.

6. the geometry is checked, there is no error and the picture is been attached below

8. after geometry cleanup the next step was to extract mid surface

9. to extract mid-surface I used auto mid-surfacing tools from the batch mesh menu.

10. Since due to batch meshing there are minor trias occurring at the edges of the surface, so this has to be sorted out by using the split command under the mesh dialogue box in the Element area.

11. I have attached the picture below of mid-surfacing.

12. After mid-surfacing, the next step was smoothing.

13. Use the Smoothing option in the midsurface, to enhance the mesh flow in the surface smoother.

13. Afterward, I put the given quality criteria and took an average length of 5mm.

14. then I gave parameters and micros length of 5mm.

15. then performed batch meshing.

16. The next step was to do casting and align manager methodology to align the mesh flow.

17. i have attached picture of the final outcome.

Outcomes:

Here learned how to extract the midsurface and do the mesh into the surface with the proper mesh flow.

Also, we can use the Casting and Align manager methodology to align the mesh flow.

Conclusion:

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

By using Casting and ALign manager also we have done the meshing.
