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

 AIM

To mesh the side door of a car for the given quality criteria

OBJECTIVE

To generate shell mesh on the car side door component for the given criteria with less possible tria percentage

PROCEDURE

As the thickness of the component is less than 6mm mid surface has been extracted fot the component to generate shell mesh on the component

MID SURFACE

Mid surface is extracted so as to decrese the complexity of the problem and solving time a middle surface is created between two surfaces of the component

Mid surface is extracted using Auto mid surfacing and surface edit tools

HYPERMESH-->MID SURFACE-->AUTO SURFACING-->SURFACES-->EXTRACT

HYPERMESH-->SURFACE EDIT-->OFFSET-->SURFACES-->OFFSET

Mid surface for dog houses are created as shown

 

MESHING

Shell meshing is generated on the extracted mid surfaces with element size 4 and following the given quality criteria 

HYPERMESH-->2D-->AUTOMESH-->(ELEMENT SIZE &PARAMETERS)-->SURFACES-->MESH

HYPERMESH-->PREFERENCES-->CRITERIA FILE SETTINGS-->QUALITY CRITERIA

 

ELEMENT CLEANUP

Element quality is cleared by using cleaanup tools present in the quality index in 2D pannel

HYPERMESH-->2D-->QUALITY INDEX-->CLEANUP TOOLS-->(NODE OPTIMIZE,ELEMENT OPTIMIZE,ETC....)

MATERIAL

Created material by using create material in the component tree and created property to surfaces and assigned the material to the each property

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learned to create mid surfaces for some complex areas 

learned to create and edit mesh 

learned to assign property and material

RESULT

Created mid surface and mesh on the side door component
