Tool Test-2

Aim :-

For the given Intake Manifold component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh the Surfaces with the given 2D element Quality criterias given below.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	3
2	Minimum Length	1
3	Maximum Length	5

Use tetra elements to mesh the Volumes defined in the model and check for the below quality after Volume meshing.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Tet collapse	0.2

Solution :-

1) Import Model :-

Open model from file menu.

2) Geometry cleanup :-

We have to check for geometry cleanup for given model, for that go in checks manager option and choose geometry check option and execute.

Model showing some errors as below -

Ideally our model should have no errors with 100 % geometry cleanup, so we will fix the errors through automatic fix option.

Geometry rerun check results are -

3) Surface Meshing i.e. tetra meshing :-

We have to give quality criteria and meshing parameters before start actual meshing. We have to choose ortho tri meshing in mesh parametrs type, also this gonna be 2D mesh so we have to check for mainly min. and max. length quality only.

meshing process - Mesh genration -spot mesh- select - ok.

4) Mesh improvement and qualilty fixing :-

As model failing for given quality criteria so we have to improve mesh by using reconstruction option and fix the quality issues.

While fixing some min. length quality faillures geometry of model getting affected, so we have to ignore some quality faillures to ensure geometry of model.

5) Volume meshing :-

Once quality issues are fixed, we gonna do volume meshing on model. For that first define volume and remesh the mesh for given solid components.

6) Collapse quality criteria check and fixing :-

Further we have to go for collapse quality criteria check which is 0.2 and model have certain collapse failures. We can auto fix using fix quality option.

Final model after volume meshing :-
