Week - 5 - 2D meshing for Plastic components
OBJECTIVE:
To do 2D meshing for given Plastic Component.
CAD MODEL:
Symmetrical Bottle Cap
PROCEDURE:
- First property have to check whether how many properties are there.
- Do orient for given Model.
- Topo > Faces > Orient.
- Do geometry check if any errors arise clear it by using Cons> Paste or else Face> Cut, Delete, New & Topo.
- After geometry check, do measurements for all the parts.
- After measure do offset for take mid surface extraction.
- For this challenge I did manual mid surface extraction by using Face>Offset.
- There are many different thickness portions present so i took mid surface separately.
- Some part have noticed for average thickness for that part the mid surface are taken by using "middle" command.
- Since it is Plastic component So there is some process done here which is extend.
- The extend is used because different thickness components are take mid surface so there is some gap formed inbetween those portion.
- To avoid that gap, "extend" option is used.
- After that, quality criteria is given for Meshing.
- 2D meshing is done by using best option tool.
- After Meshing clear the quality issues if it is present.
- Once meshing completed Thickness have assigned for all parts.
HERE I HAVE ATTACHED SOME IMPORTANT IMAGES WHICH IS BELONGS TO THIS PROJECT.
GEOMETRY CLEARANCE:
MID SURFACE EXTRACTION:
QUALITY CRITERIA & MESH PARAMETER:
AFTER MESHING:
THICKNESS ASSIGNED:
CONCLUSION:
Hence the given geomentry has meshed successfully as per the given quality criteria and thickness assigned for all the different thickness parts.
