Tool Test 1

• Aim:

This tool test carries two models (i.e. Plastic model, Sheet metal model). For both the models, Mid surface should be taken and meshed as per below quality criteria. Thickness should be assigned to both the models. (Refer “Model Requirements” in “Grading Policy” to know what to be done in the model)

Quality Criteria:

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	4
2	Minimum Length	2
3	Maximum Length	6
4	Aspect	3
5	Warpage	15
6	Skewness	45
7	Jacobian	0.7
8	Minimum Quad Angle	45
9	Maximum Quad Angle	135
10	Minimum Tria Angle	30
11	Maximum Tria Angle	120
10	Tria Percentage	15

• Results:

1. The time required for mid surface extraction, 2D meshing and PID application for the model 1, i.e., the plastic component model was 10 hours.

2. The time required for mid surface extraction, 2D meshing and PID application for the model 2, i.e., the sheet metal component model was 5.5 hours.
