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

Objective: 

• To mesh the given floor panel component with the given quality criteria.
• Quality Criteria:

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:

• The given component is a floor panel that is used under the boot of a car where a Stepney fits in.
• Below is the image of the model.

1. Geometry cleanup:

• The errors in the geometry as shown in the images below are cleared by using tools in the Geometry deck.

• After clearing the geo cleanups, mid-surface is taken.
• The mid surface can be taken using the auto or manual method.
• The thickness of the component is 0.75mm throughout, hence 2D meshing is preferred by taking mid surface. 

2. Midsurface extraction:

• The manual mid surface is taken by using the offset method and put in the different collector.
• In order to get a better flow of mesh, unnecessary lines are toggled.

 

3. Meshing:

• The quality criteria are entered mesh is created surface by surface in order to get a better flow.
• The quality of the mesh can be improved by using the clean-up tools like drag tria, split, smooth, etc.
• The mesh flow can be improvised by using rebuild mesh also.

• After meshing is done complete, thickness has to be given to the mesh.
• This can be done by creating a new property and assigning the property to the mesh component.

CONCLUSION :

•  The Rear-Wheel Holder model is meshed according to the quality criteria as shown in the result above.
