Week 2 Challenge : Surface meshing on a Pressure valve

SURFACE MESHING ON A PRESSURE VALVE USING ANSA

Aim:-

To create a surface mesh on a given pressure valve using ANSA.

Objective:-

To perform topology cleanup and create a tria element mesh on a pressure valve for 3 different cases at target lengths of 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm.

Procedure:-

1) Importing of the Given CAD Model

2) Topology Cleanup:-

3) Creating PID of a Pressure Valve

4) Surface Meshing

Meshing the entire pressure valve with three different mesh lengths of 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm using the spot mesh.
Define the length of the perimeter and macros.
Change the element type to tria and define the minimum and maximum length in quality criteria.
Generate the mesh using spot mesh by selecting the region.

A. Case 1 - 1mm Target length

B. Case 2 - 3mm Target length

C. Case 3 - 5mm Target length

Learning Outcomes:-

Isolating surface using OR, And, Not, !Not, Invert, and neighbour options.
Creating Hot Points using Insert, Project, and Multi Project, and Parametrical
Creating a New Surface using existing surface, COONS, Fitted, and Fill Hole options.
Remove the smaller edges using the Surface Cut option.
Set new PID for the components in the Property Manager tool.

Results

The Surface Meshing of a Pressure Valve has been created using the spot mesh for three different target lengths of 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm.
From the above three cases, the capturing of curves and the shape of the pressure valve gives better results in 1mm of meshing compared to the other two cases.
