MESH FOR FLOOR PANEL AND ASSIGN THICKNESS

MESH FOR FLOOR PANEL AND ASSIGN THICKNESS

OBJECTIVE:

To create a mesh for a given floor panel with required quality criteria and assign thickness for it.

PROCEDURE:

• IMPORT CAD or (.hm) FILE: Use Import to import file in Hyper mesh.

(Pic:1)

• CREATE AUTO-MID-SURFACE: Auto Mid-surface option used to create a mid surface for a given component.

(Pic:2)

• CLEAN-UP GEOMETRY:
  • Unwanted edges toggled from its original position.

(Pic:3)

• Holes or surface with a small diameter a converted into a flat surfaces.

(Pic:4)

• Delete surface which not created in proper way.

(Pic:5)

• CREATE MESH:

1. Auto-Mesh is used for creating a mesh in mid-surface.
2. Created mesh is modified for required quality criteria.
3. A criteria panel is saved for future use.
4. Use Quality Index and Elem cleanup for re-forming mesh.
5. Some regions are re-meshed until the required quality achieved.

• QUALITY CHECK:
  • Check elems are used to check element's quality. Highlighted elements are re-meshed or optimized to achieve quality.
• 
  • Edge's option is used to the continuity between elements. If any space or unconnected meshes are in mesh it will be highlighted. These elements connections are made using option replace.
• 
  • Project: This option used to align nodes as per feature lines.

• ASSIGN THICKNESS:
  • Create new property in entity editor.
  • Entered thickness value 0.75 in the tab.
  • Components assign with thickness.

RESULT:

Here Floor panel is meshed with elements and assigned thickness with 40859 elements and 19368 nodes which all satisfy quality criteria.
