Project 2 - 2D meshing on the instrumental Panel

Aim : For the given component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh with the given element Quality criteria. After meshing the component the thickness has to be assigned.

Procedure :

Step 1 : Geometry Clean up

Identified and removed geometry related errors

Model Without topo

Model with topo

Step 2 : Mid surface extraction

Mid surface was extracted using Casting method as it takes less time comparatively other two methods.

After mid extraction there were no of parts or features those were not captured properly.

Such features modified with respect to parent geometry.

Step 3 : Modifying mesh as per quality criteria provided

Then, wherever mesh was failing for quality parameteres, mesh modified with respect to that.

Step 4 : Mesh flow improvement

At some places mesh flow was not proper so, mesh flow modified there. Also, in mesh there were many trias were present which were facing each other and some were opposite in direction so such kind of errors rectified.

Learning Outcome :

In this challenge there were many things to learn. Here, I understood the concept of Mid Surface extraction using Casting Option. Come to know about align manager tool, how and where to use it. Also, project option from shell mesh and fill option.

Conclusion :

This challenge was full of learning new concepts. In this challenge I faced many problems which led to more things to learn.
