Week - 4 - 2D meshing for Plastic components

Below are the list of steps which we have carried out for 2D meshing for Plastic components given as a challenge

STEP:1

1) Please observe the given geometry clearly and verify the given component is plastic or sheet metal related component.

If it is plastic component it will have variable thicknes through out the entire geometry ,If it is of Sheet metal it will have only uniform thickness throught out the geometry.

STEP:2

1) Please check the geometry should be clean from the errors/Defects ,Please check the entire geometry and clean up the geometry checks or errors if any.

STEP:3

1) Generation of the mid surface for the entire geometry ,Please do the exercises and please generate the mid surfaces for the individual faces of the geometry.Few snaps are attached in the below picture.

STEP:4

1) Generation the mid surface for all the faces of the given geometry ,Please make ensure that you have covered all the faces of the given geomtry.Few of the snaps for the mid surface generation is attached below for clear understanding.

STEP:5

1) For Generation of the mid surface for the teeths ,Please follow the below procedure or you can refer the given procedure in the challenge itself for clear understanding.

1)Under Topo> Middle option and select the coons mention in the black circle as above ,A Complete middle curve is generated which is indicated in black colour in Rect Box.

After which we need to project the mentioned coons to the adjacent mid surface and using the Face>New>Coons we need to genrate the mid surface for the teeths which is shown below.

mid surface for the outer fins is done as shown in the below picture.

STEP:6

1) Start doing the meshing activity for all the faces of the geometry one by one as shown once the complete mid surface is done for the geometry.set the quality parameter as mentioned in the given challenge exercieses.

Complete the Meshing activity and see to that no quality parameters should be found with error,Please clear all the quality parameter criteria as shown in the above picture.
