Mid surface extraction of a switch panel and floor panel of a car and meshing the geometry under quality criteria using ANSA

Midsurface extraction of a switch panel and floor panel of a car and meshing the geometry under quality criteria using ANSA

Switch panel

Aim:

Midsurface extraction and meshing of switch panel under quality criteria.

Procedure:

1.Import geometry and check geometry and fix all issues.

2. The main body thickness is 3 mm which is the same for the main body( except ribs and mounting regions). Midsurface is extracted using offset and middle tools and PID is set as per the thickness requirment. Orientation of midsurface is checked.

3. Meshing is done using the Best mesh tool and any quality discrepancies are fixed using the split, smooth and reconstruct tools available in the meshing tools.

4. Quality is checked as per requirment and the shell to solid is turned on.

Learning Outcomes:

Midsurface extraction using offset and middle.

Mesh reconstruction using split and improve tools.

Conclusion:

Switch panel is meshed as per the quality criterion. Tria percentage of 10.92 is obtained from the mesh.

Floor panel

Aim:

Midsurface extraction and meshing of switch panel under quality criteria.

Procedure:

1.Import geometry and check geometry and fix all issues.

2. The body thickness is 2 mm entirely. Midsurface is extracted using skin option available in auto midsurfacing tool. Orientation of midsurface is checked.

3. Meshing is done using the Best mesh tool and any quality discrepancies are fixed using the split, smooth and reconstruct tools available in the meshing tools.

4. Quality is checked as per requirment and the shell to solid is turned on.

Learning Outcomes:

Midsurface extraction using skin tool.

Mesh reconstruction using split and improve tools.

Conclusion:

Floor panel is meshed as per the quality criterion. Tria percentage of 8.86 is obtained from the mesh.
