Week 12:Project-1-Meshing of Door Inner Panel Challenge

Objective:

• The objective of this project is to mesh the above model with the given criteria by following all the necessary constraints.
  • 

Procedure:

1. The first step is to import the geometry to the Hypermesh GUI,
   • 
2. The next step is to defeature the small surface fillets and ensure proper topology cleanup.
   • 
3. The next step is to extract a mid surface out of the geometry. The mid surface is given below
   • 
4. Then clean the mid surface to get proper geometry and make the geometry mesh ready.
   • 
5. Then started meshing the surface then the complete mesh is given below.
   • 
6. Some components need 3D meshing. The 3D mesh bodies are given below.
   • 
7. Then different property has been created to encapsulate all the thickness of the whole component. I've considered the average thickness and created below properties collectors.
   • 
8. The considered material is plastic whose properties are given below
   • 
9. Now let's check the mesh connectivity and the proper flow of the mesh body according to the criteria mentioned.
   • 
10. The criteria file is given below
    • 
11. After applying the property to the respective collector the detailed view of the mesh body is given below.
    • 
12. The shaded view is given below
    • 

Conclusion:

• In this project, I've learned the plastic meshing of the sheet model. The plastics are a bit difficult to mesh also have a complex geometry.
• In the above model, I couldn't able to mesh the hollow part of the pin.
• Meshing the side door was tricky for most of the part.
