Week 3
AIM
To check the geometric errors in the given component and mesh the component with matching the given quality criteria and appropriate thickness should be assigned to it after meshing is done.
PROCEDURE
1. The given component is checked for geometric errors and some of the errors is fixed by ANSA itself and others were fixed by working on it.
2. Every single part is seperated based on their property.
3. Then the midsurface is extracted using automid. The reason for choosing automid was there were soo many small segments in the component in order to extrac midsurface for them too AUTOMID is chosen.
4. Mid surface is choosen for each and every part based on their property individually.
5. After extracting the midsurface, length between two nodes is assigned as 5 in the Length option in PERIMETER option under Mesh mode.
6. Both the Perimeter and Macro length is given as 5 as per the quality criteria.
7. Before doing meshing the quality criteria should be assinged based on the given criteria. once the quality criteria is given the Target lenth, Min length and the Max length is also given.
8. The BEST mesh is selected for the meshing of the given component. Once the mesh is done RECONSTRUCT is done to match the quality criteria and immiediately smooth is done on the reconstructed area.
9. Once all is done TOPO is done the Meshed part and seperate property is given to that part using SETPID and thickness is given to that pat based on its parent model and this process is followed for all the individual parts
10. After joining all, thickess should be given for that SHELL AS SOLID is used from presentation parameters and each and every shell in the part is converted to a solid based on the thickness.
LEARNING OUTCOME
I have learned with the ANSA tools and GEOMETRIC CLEANUP and TOPO processing and learned about the 2D meshing process.
CONCLUION
Hereby I conclude that i have learned the 2D meshing process on the component given and match it with the given quality criteria.
