Project - 2 - Meshing on the suspension Assembly

Aim:

For the given rear wheel assembly to check for geometrical errors, mesh with quality criteria, for mid component thickness has to be assigned and use proper connections to connect the components.

Step 1: Geometry Clean up done for Rim

Step 2: Geometry Clean up done for tyre

Step 3: For circular components make the element numbers as even number

Step 4: Setting quality criteria and meh parametres for rim and tyre

Step 5:Mid taken for the parts

Step 6: Mid surface for the spring

Step 7: Define volume mesh for tyre, rim and other components and set specific PIDS

Connections:

Necessary RBE2 connections have done

RBE3-HEXA RBE3-Necessary spot weld connections have done

Transform –copy-symmetry-mirror 3 point plane

Learning Outcomes:

Learned and utilized the commands like

Geometry check

Topo Module-Hot points, cons,curves, points and auxiliaries

Mesh module-Mesh generation-best, Reconstruction, Reshape, Smooth

Elements – swap, split, new, delete

V-Mesh Module- Define, List

Nastran Deck- RBE2, RBE3-HEXA-RBE3-SEAM WELD-OVERLAPSHELL, Y JOINT SHELL

F11-Setting quality criteria

F12-Database Module

Conclusion:

For the given rear wheel assembly geometrical errors, mesh with quality criteria, for mid component thickness has to be assigned and proper connections to connect the components have done successfully.
