Project-2-Meshing of Door Inner Panel Challenge

OBJECTIVE

• To follow the Quality Criteria and mesh the given component and assign thickness.

PROCEDURE

• Geometry was imported @IMPORT>FILES>IMPORT>GEOMETRY>ALL>IMPORT.
• Deleted the solids @DELETE>SOLIDS>SOLIDS>ALL/DISPLAYED>OK>DELETE ENTITY.
• Fillets present at the feature areas were removed using @GEOMETRY>DEFEATURE>SURFACE>FILLETS.
• Necessary model cleanup was performed within the geometry itself.
• Midsurface was extracted using @GEOMETRY>MIDSURFACE>AUTOMIDSURFACE>EXTRACT and also used @GEOMETRY>MIDSURFACE>FINAL EDIT TOOLS for difficult capturing areas.
• Other failed feature areas were manually extracted using the @GEOMETRY>SURFACE EDIT>OFFSET.
• Necessary topology cleanup was done using @GEOMETRY>QUICKEDIT and SURFACE EDIT (for extending by duplication).
• Given quality criteria was added @2D>QUALITY INDEX>PAGE 4>EDIT CRITERIA.
• Meshing was done at each phase by considering the given 'Quality Criterias' and deployed using @2D>AUTOMESH>MESH.
• Needed cleanup was done upon the model using @2D>QUALITY INDEX>CLEANUP TOOLS.
• Edges were checked at @TOOLS>EDGES>FIND EDGES and 'Normals' were also verified.
• Cleanup tools were used at quality index for modification of elements @2D>QUALITY INDEX>CLEANUP TOOLS.
• Material and Properties were also assigned to model at different 'Thickness' areas @MODEL Panel>CREATE>PROPERTIES/MATERIALS, assigned thickness considering the Parent Geometry and '2D Detail Element Representation' was also done.
• For the Ribs, Solid Elements, Base and Speaker Area, thickness was assigned by taking the average of each components.
• All the procedures done were verified by switching to '1D Detail Element Representation'
• Then, geometry was 'Exported' @FILE>EXPORT>choose file>rename as needed>EXPORT.
• All the needed screenshots have been attached along with final model image.
• And as instruced 'Important Points to Remember' were also followed.

SCREENSHOTS

• @Sample 1, Imported the geometry.
• @Sample 2, After performing needed cleanup, edits and extracting midsurface.
• @Sample 3, After meshing and doing necessary cleanup.
• @Sample 4, Checking the edges and normals upon model.
• @Sample 5, Quality Elements were checked, rectified and needed 'Properties' and 'Materials' are also added.

Feature area capturing was done and element Quality Criteria failed at some regions as it is difficult to be rectified.
