Week 3 - 2D meshing for sheet metal

Aim: To create mid surafce and to mesh the component as per the given quality criteria.

Procedure :

1. performance mode have to set as 3, while opening the ansa software.

2. Import the model to ansa and save it as .ansa file

3. Gemontry check has to be done, to check single and triple cons. if any issues are there it has to fixed in the TOPO module itself.

4. Length has to be set to 1mm using perimeters and macros

5. Mid surafce has to be extracted using Faces -> offset -> faces.

6. Lenght has to be set to 1mm for the mid surface using permeter and macros.

7. Part has to be slpited evenly by cut command and if any unwanted lines are there it has to be removed using joint command.

8. As per the given quality criteria, the quality parameters has to be set.

9. After even split, Mesh has to be given using spot mesh command.

10. As meshing, the quality parameters has to verified.

11. if there is any deviation in the mesh. it has to be corrected using reconstruct, split and swap.

12. While using split and swap commands - in option list improve has to be smooth.

Conclusion:

There should be any deviations in the mesh quality as pe the given quality criteria.

Learnings : Learnt how to join and delet the unwanted lines to provide proper shape and mesh quality.
