Project 2 - 2D meshing on the instrumental Panel

Aim:

The given instrumental panel has to be meshed with the given quality criteria.

Procedure:

1)A length of 1mm is assigned for proper cons resolution and geometrical checks is performed.

2)After correcting the geometrical errors, random thickness measurments are done to the component at different positions.

3)The instrumental panel is a plastic component with different thickness values.This is used near steering of the vehicles. So casting method is used for mid-surface extraction.

4)As casting method in ANSA is a automated mid-surface method, manual intervention is neccessary to capture some features properly.

5)So, to capture the features properly, the base surface of the feature has to be clean. To do so align manager is used. After, cleaning up the base surface to capture the features a rough sketch is created using the curves options in the topo module.

6)To create a new mesh the curves has to be projected to their respective mesh surface so that with the help of fill command the mesh is generated.

7) As the new mesh is assigned to empty option, it has to assigned to either middle or plane option using alig manager.

8)Similarly, all the perimeters also has to be assigned to their respective faces of the parent geometry.

9)This way all the features as to be captured properly

Learning Outcomes:

Learnt how to capture features using align manager.

Conclusion:

The given instrumental panel is given a proper mid-surface and the mesh is assigned to it with proper thickness.
