Week - 4 - 2D meshing for Plastic components

AIM:

For given plastic component extract the midsurface with proper mesh flow and assign thickness for it.

OBJECTIVE:

• Extract mid surface of givem component.
• Proper mesh flow
• Assign thickness for it
• check quality criteria.

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1:

Given model.

STEP 2:

After import the model check geometry.

Go to check manager on top----geometry----exceute---proceed.

STEP 3:

To extract mid surface---split the model into---two property.

PART 1

PART 2

STEP 4:

To extact the mid surface---measure the two surfaces--

Go to faces----offset---give the values---extract mid.

The property has been generated---mid surface has extract

STEP 5:

As same for other surface

Go to measure ---measure the two surfaces

offset ---mid surf will extract.

STEP 6:

For rib area----measure the distance of rib

Select the faces----offset it----extract mid surface

Mid surafce has extracted

STEP 7:

After extract----extend the surface

Go to faces----extend----select the edge of surface---then select the faces of it----then extract.

STEP 8:

As same for this part

Go to faces----middle---extract the mid surface.

STEP 9:

For thread area

STEP 10:

To extract mid surface for thread area

Go to curves----middle---select two cons

STEP11:

The curve part will generate.

To project the curve part to surface region

Go to cons----project select the curves----project it to surfaces.

STEP 12:

As same for other surface

Take mid surface for each part ---put all in one property

STEP 13:

Now, mesh thecomponent

Go to perimeter----length---select all macros---assign value as 1---then extract.

STEP 14:

Then, Go to mesh generation---best---extract

Then,assign values in mesh parameters

Then, assign the value for quality parameter.

STEP 15 :

Assign the thickness fot it

RESULT:

Hence the mid surface have extract--with proper mesh flow and thickness has assigned.
