Mid-surface Extraction and Shell Meshing of a car door in HyperMesh

Objective: To manually take the mid-surface of the side door and mesh it according to quality criteria.

Procedure:

The following geometry was provided to us for manual mid-surfacing.

The geometry was split into 4 parts using split command.

Each seperate part was then organized into a different surface.

The mid-surface of each component was taken manually and all the split surfaces were then organized into one component.

The next step is to mesh each surface and check for the quality criteria. The target element size used for this was 4mm.

The meshed structure with no element violating the threshold is displayed in the figure below.

The final meshed structure is displayed below.

Conclusion: As can be seen from the above pictures, the geometry is meshed for the given quality criteria.
