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

AIM: To extract the mid surface of the given component and to mesh the component with given quailty critera and mesh parameter.

PROCEDURE:

Step 1: To import the given model into the GUI.

• Import solver deck> model> file type>import.

Step 2: To extract the midsurce of the given component.

• Geom> Midsurface> displayed>mid-surfaces is extracted.

• To extract the mid surface for the ribs
• Using the Line > middle option.
• Using trim with lines to extract the midsurface for the ribs.

• The lines has been projected to the surface.
• Using surface> ruled option selecting the two lines midsurface for ribs is created.

• Projecting the ribs to the surface.

• Surface edit> selecting the lines> selecting the surface to extend.
• The rib has been extended.

• To extract the midsurface for the locater.
• Using lines option to create the midsurface as shown.
• Using surface ruled option to create the mid surface.

• Using intersecting option to intersect the 2 surfaces.

• Geom> Trim with surface/ plane>selecting the surface>Trim option.

Step 3: Now meshing the midsurface

• 2D>Automesh selecting the element size> mesh.

Step 4: To clear the element quality and mesh flow.

• By using translate option to remove the warpage quality
• By using the distance option to increase or decrease the distance between the nodes to clear the minimum and maximum element quality criteria.
• using align nodes and rebuild mesh to improve the mesh flow.
• Also using edges option to check the connectivity of the elements.

PICTURES OF THE MODEL:

RESULT: Sucessfully extracted the Midsurface and meshed the component with the given quality criteria and mesh parameter.
