Project - 2 - Meshing on the suspension Assembly
AIM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rear wheel assembly is cleaned and then mesh and finally connection is done
OBJECTIVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Check for geometrical errors
- Generate mid surface of suitable parts which have uniform thickness and thickness is less than 5mm
- After generating mid surface, it is meshed according to the quality criteria
- Surface meshing is done rest of the parts and after that volume mesh is done according quality criteria
2D quality criteria
Surface mesh quality criteria for Tire and Rim
Surface mesh quality criteria other than Tire and Rim
Volume mesh quality criteria
GEOMETRY CLEANUP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the geometry errors are cleaned.
MIDSURFACE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I found these 5 parts having uniform thickness and thickness less than 5mm, hence mid surface is generated by OFFSET and CURVE MIDDLE method.
ASSIGNING PID MID AND THICKNESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Property ID and thickness has been assigned to the middle surface of different components.
SUSPENSION SPRING
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Representation of spring into 1D bar.
MESH GENERATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tire and Rim is surface meshed
Mesh is applied and after many improvements the proper flow of mesh is generated.
Volume mesh is done.
CONNECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bolt connection is done at suitable places.
CONCLUSION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hence the proper mesh flow is done according to the quality criteria both for 1D and 2D element. Connection are also provided.
