Week 12:Project 2-Meshing of Rear Wheel Holder challenge

Aim :- Follow the below-mentioned quality criteria, mesh the component given below and assign thickness:

Target Element Length = 5 Units

S.N	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Aspect Ratio	5
2	Skewness	45
3	Warping	15
4	Taper	0.5
5	Min. Length	2 Units
6	Max. Length	8 Units
7	Min angle Quad	45
8	Max angle Quad	135
9	Min angle Tria	20
10	Max angle Tria	120
10	Tria %	10

Procedure :-

Step 1 :- Import the model

Import solver deck - import solver deck - IGES file - select the file - import.

Geometry color mode :- By topo

Step 2 :- deleting unwanted surfaces.

Delet - select the surface - by face - delet.

Step 3:- Filling the surface

geomertry - quick edit - filler surface -select the free edge - fill the surface.

Step 4 :- Measuring the distance

Geomerty - distance - two points - measure two points.

Step 5 :- Generating mid surface .

create a new component

geometry - surface edit - offset -

select the surface by face - duplicate to current component - give offset value 0.375 - offset.

Generated mid surface .

Step 6 :- Geomertrical clean up .

Filling the surfaces :-

geomertry - quick edit - filler surface - fill the surface.

Replacing points :-

geomertry - quick edit - replace points - select the points - retain

Toggle :-

geomertry - quick edit - toggle edges - selelct the line need to toggle.

Removing small gaps by toggle the line.

Creating surfaces .

Geometry - surfaces - reules -select the line - create

After cleaning up the geometry .

Step 7 :- Giving quality criteria.

Preferences - criteria file settings - give the quality measures -apply - ok.

Step 8 :- Generate mesh

Geometry color mode :- BY TOPO

Element color mode :- BY ELEMENT QUALITY

2D - Automesh - select the surface - element size 5mm - element type - mixed - mesh.

Step 9:- Clearing the quality criteria

Dragging tria :-

2D - Quality index - drag tra elenent - drag the tria.

Rebuild mesh :-

2D - Rebuild mesh - select the elements - rebuild

Swapng the line :-

2D - Quality index - swape edge - select the line swap.

Cleaning quality failure by element optimization .

2D - Quality index - element optimize - select the element to optimize.

Removing warpages by Translation :-

Tool - translate - select the node - give direction - magnitude - translate.

Smoothing :-

2D - Smooth - select the elements - give iterations - smooth .

After clearing all quality criteria .

Step 10 :- Equvalance .

Tool - edges - elements - displayed - priview equvalance - equvalane.

Step 11 :- Creating property

Step 12 :- Assigning thickness

Step 13 :- Created Material to the component.

Step 14 :- Assigning property to the component.

Final Model :-

Result :- Given component is meshed with mentioned quality criteria and assigned thickness.

Learning outcomes :-

• Leaned about meshing
• Learned about removal all quality errors .
• Learned assignning thickness to the components.
