Week - 4 - 2D meshing for Plastic components

Objective: To take midsurface and mesh the plastic part

Procedure:-

1. Following is the part from which mid surface needs to be extracted

2. Check for geomerty errors

3. Fix all the errors.

4. Take manual mid surface for separately for each thichness

5. After taking midsurface, this is how the mid surface will look like

6. Again check for any geometrical errors

7. Split the geometry into parts such that the mesh flow is evenly distributed

8. Set the quality criteria

9. Use best mesh for meshing the part

10. Check whether any element is failing the criteria, if failing resolve the issue

Note:- No material is failing

11. Once mesh gets completed, assign PID's separately to each property.

12. Assign thickness to each of the property as per parent geometry thickness

13. This is how the final mesh will look like

Learnings:-

1. It is very important to plan the steps before proceeding with the task.

2. Have an idea of how the splits will be made.

3. Before proceeding with mesh, ensure geometry checks is done right.

4. Assigning separate PID's for plastic components

5. Maual midsurfacing of a plastic part
