Project 2

Objective: To perform a quality 2D mesh on the given floor panel by extracting the mid-surface and assign given thickness to the elements.

Cad Model:

Procedure:

1) Extraction of the Mid-surface:

• Since the thickness of the component is constant (0.75mm) hence the auto mid surface method has been used.

• Geometry clean has been performed in the necessary areas
• The following image represents the ready to mesh mid-surface of the component.

2) Meshing:

• To perform a quality mesh, first, the given quality parameters have been set in the parameter file and in the quick quality parameter file
• The mid-surface geometry is divided in such a way that the surface will be close to the rectangular shape so that after the mesh minimum number of tria elements will generate.

• After the mesh, the quality has been checked and elements with the quality error are cleared by using the translate command with respect to the type of error.
• The following picture represents the meshed component with respect to the quality

3) Assigning a Thickness to the elements:

• The property has been created and 0.75mm thickness is assigned for the entire floor panel.
