Step 1 - Imported the file.

Fig- imported file

Step 2 – searching for any missing surface and filling the missing surface from Quick edit (f11).Step 3 – finding the thickness of the component. From geometry – distance(F4)

Fig - thickness

Step 4- Extracting the mid surface of component. From Geometry -mid surface

Fig – Mid surface

Step 5- suppressing the unwanted lines from quick edit menu

Fig – surface are modification

Step 6- setting the mesh quality criteria from tools-check elements(f10)

Fig- quality criteria

Step 7- meshing the surface from 2d- auto mesh (f12) setting mesh size as 5 units.

Fig -component after meshing

Step 8 – solving the failed elements from tools- check elements(F10)

Fig -Component after solving for failed elements

Step 9 -assigning the thickness to the elements by giving the property.

Fig- component after applying property

Step 10- checking for crack. Tools-edge (Shift+f3)

Fig- edges

Step 11- checking for normal.

Fig- normal

Conclusion

• From this project we learned and explored the different 2D meshing options like auto mesh, ruled meshing, spline etc.
• Learned more about the auto mid surface feature
