Week 12 - Project-1

Objective:-

To mesh the given inner door panel, and also apply quality criteria. Assign thickness to the respective part of the component.

Target Element Length = 4 mm

S.No Quality Criteria Value

1 Aspect Ratio 5

2 Skewness 45

3 Warping 15

4 Taper 0.5

5 Min. Length 2mm

6 Max. Length 6mm

7 Min angle Quad 45

8 Max angle Quad 135

9 Min angle Tria 20

10 Max angle Tria 120

10 Tria % 10

Tools Used:-

Procedure followed:-

Import the side door panel.
After importing the surface manually check for any missing surfaces, lines,etc or in other words briefly check for any geometry faults.
Now extract the midsurface according to the surface requirements. In my component I have used midsurface and also Surface edit- Offset command to extract the midsurface.
Post midsurface it is time for 2D meshing of the component. But before 2D meshing we have to set the criteria file. To achieve this go to Preferences- Criteria file setting and feed the required quality settings.
2D mesh the component individually so that if there is any discrimination we can correct it manually.
After 2D mesh it is seen that many elements are not attached to each other, so manually solve the issue by using various command we have. I used project command to project and align various elements with the respective component.
After finalising the mesh it is now turn for the property.
Assign property to the various parts of the component. As it is seen that the components of the door panel are generally of 2 mm, 2.8 mm & 3 mm. so accordingly I have assigned the property and thickness to the respective surfaces.

Conclusion:-

The final Hypermesh model we get is as per the quality criteria.
