Week 2 Challenge : Surface meshing on a Pressure valve
AIM: TO check the Geometrical Errors and perform Topology cleanup accordingly, To get desired Length and Surface Meshing on the Pressure Value.
SOFTWARE USED : ANSA Software.
TOOLS USED IN SOFTWARE : Checks, Topo Deck, Loop, Parameters Tool for length, Mesh Generation Tool for meashing.
PROCEDURE :
1. Downloaded the model from the challeng and saved it in a specified location.
2. Inserting the downloaded model in to ANSA Software.
3. Learining the given question and understanding it.
4. Go to checks option to check the Geomentry Errors in the model.
5. In the checks we have an option "Geomentry", click on it and then we will get option like (i.e : sharp edgs, unmeshed macros, uncracked surfaces, colopased cones, triple cones, nedial faces, over laped faces, cracks, single cones.) out of which select all the required items to get your required output.
6. After doing checks we will get the clear information of "cracks" and "single cones" and "tirple cones" on over model and we need to resolve each and every error using the different tools in ANSA.
7. Go to "Topo deck" for future oparetion.
8. In Topo deck we have an tool called "Faces", in which we have "New" click in it then a window will be popup over their in which we have four option like (i.e : existing surface, planner, conns, fitter.) by using those we can clearly complete the filling operation of missing surface in model.
9. In cones we have a option called fill hole use it to fill the holes in the model.
10. Use control and shift kee to see the wire fram mode of ur model to select the hidden surfaces during the oparetion.
11. Go to parameters Tool click on it then a window will be popup in which two stes will be visible one is PARAMETER and secound is MACROS.
12. Go to PARAMETER and click on middle botton then a window will be popup then set the dimensions as 1mm and do the same for the MACROS and set the dimension as 1mm.
13. Go to MESH PARAMETER and set the target length 1mm and selecte the tira option over their.
14. Define the meshelement type us a tria in the MESH PARAMETER.
15. Go to MESH GENERATION tool in which we have SPORT MESH click on the option and then select the entire model then the model will be turned in to mesh.
16. Now go to MESUREMENTS option at the top of the screen and then click on it then window will be popuped then select the nodes option.
17. After selecting the nodes option we need to measure the distance between to nodes on the model by selecting two nodes.
18. Repeat the step no:12 to step no:17 for the 3mm and 5mm lenghts.
19. The created module is to be saved in the spefied location in computer.
RESULTS :
Hence the surface meshing on a pressure value with desired length completed using the tools in ANSA software.
