Procedure –
- First I have imported the model to hypermesh workbench and extracted mid-surface of it through auto mid-surface option.
- After getting mid-surface it was not perfect surface, that’s why again I went for manual mid-surface option.
- Then I went for meshing as per given criteria.
- To add given criteria value, I went to preference - Criteria file settings.
- Then I went for mesh option, since some of the portions are symmetry, I meshed that portion and reflected to symmetric part through reflect option.
- Those parts are not symmetric, those are got meshed alone. Like this I meshed total component.
- While meshing of the component some portions are constrained with minimum area. So those portions are failing for minimum length, minimum tria angle, skewness quality.
- Also while meshing some of the elements were failing for warpage, those are got cleared up with translate option.
- In this component there were small buttons, which are will failing for minimum length issue while meshing. For this reason, those areas are got toggled up as per recommendation in question.
