Week 4 - 2D Meshing for Sheet Metal

Solution

First open the file by going to File-Open

Now,After opening the file select the whole component and do Topo option (it connect the cons if they are not connected)

Now,check for any geometrical errors by going to Tools-checks-geometry Or search check on search box

select all the errors by Ctrl+A and then right click and fix the errors automatically

Geometry check up is done.

Now,MESHING

before moving to meshing

step1.Give the Quality criteria

now,give the mesh parameters

Here, I am using Casting

In the casting just give the criteria and it will automatically take mid-surface and mesh.

now,To do casting Go to TOPO-mid surface-casting

give the criteria

Mesh generated

There are OFF elements

you can clear the errors by these following option also

paste option in grids

Smooth ,Reconstruction in Shell Mesh

Used Split,swap option in Elements to remove trias.

After solving the errors

Conclusion

Mid surface and mesh is Done.
