Shell meshing of a Bottle Cap using ANSA
Aim:
To mesh the given Bottle Cap model with the given quality criteria using ANSA.
Quality Criteria:
| Target/Average length | 1 |
| Minimum length | 0.5 |
| Maximum length | 3 |
| Skewness | 45 |
| Aspect Ratio | 3 |
| Warpage | 15 |
| Jacobian | 0.7 |
| Min. Quad Angle | 45 |
| Max. Quad Angle | 135 |
| Min. Tria Angle | 30 |
| Max. Tria Angle | 120 |
| Tria Percentage | 15 |
| Tria per node | 2 |
Procedure:
- The Bottle Cap Model is opened in the ANSA tool and refinement is done.The part is checked for geometry and once the geometry is free of errors the part is then assigned the material properties.
- The mid surface is generated for the part.
- After the mid surface is generated properties are assigned to the different parts of the mid surface.
- Once the properties are assigned.the mid surface is meshed according to the given quality criteria,and the solids are drawn as shell.
