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

project -2 report

objective: mesh the given component and assign thickness for the component.

procedure:

• first imported the geometry of the given challenge.
• after importing component checked for free edges and those edges are fixed in midsurface.
• in the given component small button are present and those buttons are removed.
• button removing process is that first deleted the all surface in the button area and created the surface on those empty region or filled surface .
• after removing buttons and manual clean up done on geometry.
• then we need create midsurface for this component. we have two methods to create midsurface
• i created midsurface by using option called auto midsurface(offset+plane sweeps) and tool for this geom>midsurface>auto extraction>surf>return.
• then after completion of the midsurface work and component is ready for the meshing.
• before mesh need set parameter and quality creteria file for meshing.
• for this components batch meshing is done by setting parameter file and quality. and save the those files.
• for the batch mesh tool is automesh>batch mesh>browse param file and quality file(given challenge)>mesh.
• after completing the batch mesh and we need fix some mesh flow and mantain the quality criteria. this done by rebulid mesh and quality index.
• once the components is passed quality criteria and then need assign the thickness to meshed model.
• for that first we need create the property and assign thickness to property.
• then assign the property to the component.
• checked for the thickness is assgined or not by option called 2d detailed element.

above fig 1 is that tool for the auto midsurface extraction.

above fig 2 is that tool for batch meshing.

above fig 3and 4 is some geomerty clean up is done on the midsurface.

above fig 5 is that buttons are removed and fixed those region.

above fig shown is midsurface of the component.

above fig shown is meshing done and thickness is assigned.

Conclusion: the given model is meshed and assigned the thickness.
