Week 3

TITLE: MESHING OF A HOOD COMPONENT

OBJECTIVE: To mesh the component in the given criteria.

• Firstly I took the upper portion of hood by pid I turned off other components.
• Then I check the geometry for any cracks.
• Then I recitify the defects in geometry using autofix option.
• Then I recitify the remaining parts manually which are not corrected by the auto fix.
• Then I use orient option to change the colour of the surface,so that it can extract the mid surface correctly.
• Then I use measure option to measure the distace between surfaces to create mid surface.
• Then I use offset option to create mirface and floowed the arrow mark to create the proper mid suface.
• Then I turnoff other components and took the mid surface for meshing.
• Then I setup the mesh parametrs and quality criteria foer meshing.
• Then I use the cut option to defeture the unnecessary fillets and cut lines.
• Then I make necessary cuts that help me to imrove my mesh flow.
• Then I use best option in mesh genaration to generate the mesh.
• Then I use the split option to remove the trias and quads.
• Then I mesh use paste option also to improve the mesh.
• Then I mesh the remaining components in the similar process and look for quality of mesh.
• Finally assigned a thickness to the components.

CONCLUSION: Good mesh flow is obtained and quality of mesh is achieve.
