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

Aim:

To Extract MidSurface, geometry cleanup and create the shell(2D Mesh) Mesh for the given side door panel according to the given quality criteria.

Quality Criteria Requirement:

Procedure:

Meshing:

Since there are many ribs with surface fillets, it is difficult to create their mid-surfaces. So, these fillets are removed or defeated by going to geometry then defeature then surface fillets. Then specifying the minimum radius , selecting surfaces and click on find option. The fillets are shown as highlighted, then click remove to remove the fillets.

Clean up the geometry of the component for better mid surface.
Now after checking the thickness at various points of the components bygoing to geometry then distance then select two points, it is found that the component has varying thickness. So, manual mid surfacing is done by going to geometry then surface edit then offset. Then, select the surface and duplicate it, specify offset thickness and the mid surface is created.

For extracting rib we will use midsurface then final edit tools then selecting both the surfaces then create then midsurface for ribs will be created.
To make connectivity amongs all the extracted surfaces we will go to surface edit then surface extend then selecting line and then surface then clicking on extend it will create connectivity amongs the surfaces.
Then after that we will go for meshing the component we will select automesh in 2D panel then selecting the target surface setting up target element length as 4 mm then we will click on mesh.

After meshing we will check for element mesh quality to rectify the failing elements.

Result:

The given component is meshed under the given quality criteria with their respective thicknesses.
