Week 5

OBJECTIVE

For the given component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh with the given element Quality criteria. Use tetra elements to model the component and there should not and kinks and dips on the surface of the component.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	1
2	Minimum Length	0.5
3	Maximum Length	2
4	Tetcolapse	0.2

STEP 1: IMPORT THE MODEL APPLY TOPO AND GIVE A GEOMETRY CHECK AND FIX ALL ERROR

FIG 1: REAR VIEW MIRROR

STEP 2: MESH THE FILLET AND THE CURVE REGION WITH ORTHO-TRIA MESH AND PLANE PART WITH TRIA

FIG 2: 2D MESHED SURFACE

FIG 3: 2D MESHED SURFACE

STEP 3: CHECK MESH IS GOOD WITH ALL QUALITY PARAMETRE AND ASIGNE THE VALUE OF COLLAPSE AS 0.2 FOR VOLUME MESH

STEP 4: OPEN VOLUME MESH PANEL AND SELECT DEFINE VOLUME ENTITY AND SELECT AUTO, THIS WILL SELECT ALL THE COMPONENTS FOR VOLUME MESH AND RUN TETRA-FEM COMAND

FIG 4: BISECTED VIEW TO DEPICT THE 3D VOLUME MESH ELEMENT

FINAL RESULT
