Challenge

Project 1-Meshing of Rear Wheel Holder challenge

OBJECTIVE

  • To mesh the given component of a car with given quality parameters and to assign thickness.

PROCEDURE

  • Geometry was imported @IMPORT>FILES>IMPORT>GEOMETRY>ALL>IMPORT.
  • Delete solids @DELETE>SOLIDS>SOLIDS>ALL/DISPLAYED>OK>DELETE ENTITY.
  • Midsurface was extracted using @GEOMETRY>MIDSURFACE>AUTO-EXTRACTION>SURF.>ALL>EXTRACT>OK.
  • Auto-cleanup was performed before meshing @GEOMETRY>AUTOCLEANUP>EDIT>CRITERIA>SURF.>ALL>SELECT>AUTOCLEANUP.
  • Then mesh was deployed using @2D>AUTOMESH>SURF.>MIXED>MESH and also used @2D>SMOOTH>ELEMENTS>ALL>ITERATION (1000)>SMOOTH.
  • After meshing quality index criteria was applied using @2D>QUALITY INDEX>PAGE 4>EDIT CRITERIA>INPUT VALUES>APPLY>OK.
  • Cleanup tools were used at quality index for modification of elements.
  • Elements were projected to the surface using @TOOLS>PROJECT>TO SURFACE>select ELEMENTS>select SURFACE>PROJECT.
  • 'Edges' were checked and 'Equvi' was applied and also @TOOLS>NORMALS>DISPLAY>ADJUST.
  • Then, geometry was 'Exported' @FILE>EXPORT>choose file>rename as needed>EXPORT.

SCREENSHOTS

  • @Sample 1, Imported the geometry.
  • @Sample 2, After performing needed cleanup and edits as required.
  • @Sample 3, Mid-surface was extracted.
  • @Sample 4, Again necessary edits and cleanup were done (autocleanup).
  • @Sample 5, Mesh was depolyed following the given quality criteria's.
  • @Sample 6, Normal was checked and adjusted.
  • @Sample 7, Final model image before exporting.

All necessary screenshots have been attached along with the final model file.
