Week 3 - 2D meshing for sheet metal

AIM:

To create a 2D meshing on the given material hood.

PROCEDURE:

• First, we separate each element.
• Then I give the proper perimeter and Macro length as 5.
• I check for geometry and removed the cons.
• As hood have many material properties. We split each one separately.
• We need to create a mid-surface for all materials in the hood using mid-surface - Skin and offset commands.
• 

• Now I apply quality mesh parameters to all the materials.
• The next step is to create a mess on the mid-surface of each material on the hood.
• After creating the mesh on the mid-surface, we have to check the mesh for each material in the hood.
• Then we checked good mesh flow and try to reduce the triangular element using the split, smooth commands.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

1. I learned about various commands used in the ANSA for geometry clean-up, mid-surface generation and messing.
2. I learned how to use the swap, split and join commands to reduce the tri elements in a mess.

CONCLUSION:

2-D Mesh on the given materials is created.
