Week - 4 - 2D meshing for Plastic components

Aim : To create midsurface mesh for given bottle cap model, which have to fullfill quality critiria.

Procedure :

1. performance mode have to set as 3, while opening the ansa software.

2. Import the model to ansa and save it as .ansa file

3. Gemontry check has to be done, to check single and triple cons. if any issues are there it has to fixed in the TOPO module itself.

4. Length has to be set to 1mm using perimeters and macros

5. Mid surafce has to be extracted using Faces -> offset -> faces.

6. Lenght has to be set to 1mm for the mid surface using permeter and macros.

7. Part has to be slpited evenly by cut command and if any unwanted lines are there it has to be removed using joint command.

8. As per the given quality criteria, the quality parameters has to be set.

9. After even split, Mesh has to be given using spot mesh command.

10. As meshing, the quality parameters has to verified.

11. if there is any deviation in the mesh. it has to be corrected using reconstruct, split and swap.

12. While using split and swap commands - in option list improve has to be smooth

Conclusion:

There should not be any deviation in the quality critiria.

Leasons learned :

1. How to extract mid surface in threads.

2. How to exdent the mid surface of a part to other part.

3. How to extract mid surface using face - middle - multi
