Project-2-Meshing of Door Inner Panel Challenge

OBJECTIVE:

To accurately extract midsurface by a manual method & generate a 2D mesh discretization for entire car model

MODEL:

The above model is the inner panel of car side door. However, the thickness of this part is varying from region to region. Apart from that there are multiple features such as ribs, cavity cylindrical protruding etc.

Such models are Divided in to different sub parts & meshed separately, this makes the meshing process less complicated.

Hence, for the first layer the entire model is divided in to 4 regions as shown below. This splitting of the surface is done before extracting the midsurface of the model.

Further the above 4 parts are subdivided & in total there are about 8 sub parts divided for midsurfacing.

MESHING :

Once the midsurfacing of the entire model is completed part by part, we can start with the meshing of the parts.

Meshing is also done part by part, where each and every subpart is cleaned geometrically & worked.
