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

Objective: To generate midsurface and generate 2D mesh with the criteria mentioned and assign thickness.

Procedure:

  1. Measure the offset distance by projecting and duplicating a point in the gap region (tool - project - point - duplicate - select the surface and measure the distance)
  2. Offset the component 1 to distance of 1.4 (geometry - surface edit - offset)
  3. Project the details on the offset surface manually
  4. Use (geometry - midsurface - final edit tools and select the opposite faces to create midsurface). Do this for following ribs.
  5. For the below surface details, create a midline and trim the midsurface with that line and then create surface with lines (Geometry - line -midline), (geometry - surface edit - trim with lines), (geometry - surface - ruled)
  6. Use offset option and then trim the surface for the following geometry.
  7. Capture the following geometry with orthogonal surfaces.
  8. Do topology corrections on the midsurface to avoid failing elements.
  9. Generate automesh on the midsurface and rebuild.
  10. Assign thickness (Toolbar - mesh - assign - midmesh thickness - select both the parent surfaces - select all elements - properties on components)

Result: The back door midsurface has been created and meshing is done. Thickness is assigned to the elements to match the parent geometry.
