Project 1-Meshing of Rear Wheel Holder challenge

OBJECTIVE:

To mesh the given Rear Wheel Holder component with the above criteria.

GIVEN:

The quality criteria for 2D elements.

CAD MODEL:

PROCEDURE:

1. Import the downloaded model on the graphic area. File type is in IGES fromat .go to>Import solver>Import geometry>IGES from option >Import. Delete the solids if present .
2. Once the model is imported check for the number of components of the given model .
3. Geometry cleanup on the component. Delete the unwanted geometry on the component.
4. 
5. 
6. Use the quick edit panel, tools in geom panel....
7. 
8. 
9. Generating the midsurface go to >surface edit>offset>give the value>duplicate the surface>hit offset.
10. 
11. deleting the holes
12. we go for another geometry clean up before performing mesh,
13. 
14. Next step is to assign mesh parameters and the quality criteria.
15. 
16. 
17. Meshing the surface with the given mesh unit 5mm. go to 2D>automesh>option surface>give element size>select the mesh type>select the surface of the component>mesh.
18. Another option is to go for batch mesh in automesh panel
19. 
20. 
21. Once the meshing is done we check the free edges, make sure there are no free edges go to >tool> edges>select the elements>preview equivalence>equivalence.
22. 
23. Check the normals
24. 
25. In the final stage assign the thickness to the given model .
26. 
27. 

CONCLUSION:

Thus the given component is meshed with the element size 5 units.
