Week 3 Challenge : CFD meshing on Turbocharger

CFD Meshing on Turbocharge

To create a surface mesh and volumetric mesh on a given turbocharger using ANSA.

To perform a topology clean-up and create a surface and volumetric mesh for the turbocharger with the target length of

1) Importing the given CAD Model of the turbocharger.

2) Topology Cleanup

A given geometry has been prepared by removing single cons, triple cons, and missing surfaces of the turbocharger.

3) Creating PID of a Turbocharger

4) Surface Meshing

Meshing the turbocharger with the given mesh length using the spot mesh.
Define the length of perimeters and macros.
Change the quality criteria and mesh parameters to min and max mesh length type as tria elements.
Generate the surface mesh using the spot mesh by selecting the region.

5) Volume Meshing

Define volume using the whole db option in the volume mesh deck for auto-detect volumes after creating a surface mesh.
Keep the fluid volume of the turbocharger and delete the geometry that has a thickness or parent geometry.
Change the mesh type to Tetra CFD and remesh the volume.

Isolating the surface using Or, And, Not, !Not, Invert, and neighbour options.
Creating hot points using Insert, Project, Multi-Project, and Parametrical.
Creating a new surface using existing surface, COONS, Fitted, and Fill Hole options.
Remove the smaller edge using the surface cut option.
Set new PID for the turbocharger components in the property manager tool.
Extracting the fluid volume of the turbocharger.

The surface mesh and volumetric mesh have been created for the given mesh length parameters of the turbocharger.
