Week 3

Aim :

For the given component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh with the given element Quality criteria. After meshing the component the thickness has to be assigned.

Write a detailed report on your meshing process and also mention which method you used to extract the mid-surface along with the reason.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	5
2	Minimum Length	2
3	Maximum Length	7
4	Aspect	3
5	Warpage	15
6	Skewness	45
7	Jacobian	0.7
8	Minimum Quad Angle	45
9	Maximum Quad Angle	135
10	Minimum Tria Angle	30
11	Maximum Tria Angle	120
10	Tria Percentage	15

Solution:

We will be setting the mesh criteria as shown below :

Geometry Cleanup :

Now we will be checking the geometry check and see the errors as shown below :

As you can see a clean up needs to be done and hence the following command are being used :

Using the fix command we have removed the errors of the following component :

Geometric Cleanup of Part 2 :

Using the fix command we have removed the errors of the following component :

Geometric Cleanup of Part 2 :

Using the fix command we have removed the errors of the following component :

Mesh of part 1 :

Mid surface of Part 2 :

Using the defeature tool we have removed the areas which will fail for the minimum length:

Meshing of Part 2 :

Using the mirror command we have copied the mesh to the opposite direction as shown below :

Whole Meshed Component:
