Week 4 - 2D Meshing for Sheet Metal

Objectives:- 1. To create midsurface of given CAD model.

2. To mesh CAD model.

Procedure:-

1. First do a geometry check of model. If any error occurs, then fix it.
2. Then measure thickness of component. Then select offset command. Select surface then enter offset value.
3. After entering offset value, click middle button of mouse and midsurface is created. Then cleanup the geometry using fine command.
4. After creating midsurface, give new PID to all midsurfaced parts.
5. After that go to mesh, then select quality criteria option. Enter given quality criteria. And then enter mesh parameters.
6. Then select best mesh from mesh generation. Select surface to be meshed. After middle click mesh is generated.
7. After that remove a off element using various commands i.e. Reconstruction, Smooth etc
8. Neglect the trias, rotating quads for better mesh flow.

Conclusion:- Hence we meshed CAD model successfully.
