Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly

OBJECTIVE

For the given models, check for the geometrical errors and delete surfaces which are unwanted for surface wrap.After clearing geometry,merge all 3 models and perform surface wrap.

Target length for wrap= 3mm

PROCEDURE

Step 1: Topological cleanup

• Delete unwanted extra surfaces from the outside of model.
• Hide the part using PID s select option.
• Model containss ring surfaces, overlapped surfaces, small pipes and small extra surfces. Delete all these surfaces.
• Check for any single cons present on the outer perifery. IF any delete or convert into double or triple cons using paste and topo option.

Step 2: Merge models

• Open engine model.
• Go to file - merge option.
• Select ansa file that we want to merge with engine file.
• Select next ansa file and merge it.
• Close all large hole outside the surface

Step 3: Surface wrap

• Delete all empty PIDs.
• Go to mesh mode.Click on wrap.Select constant length. Double click on parameters and give target length as 3mm.
• Double click on contents and import all PIDs. Run the wrap.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understood how to remove unwanted ring surfaces, pipe surfaces and overlapped surfaces from the body.
• Understood how to merge the models.
• Understood how to perform surface wrap.

RESULT

For the given models, checked for the geometrical errors and deleted surfaces which are unwanted for surface wrap.After clearing geometry,merged all 3 models and performed surface wrap.

CONCLUSIONS

• Small value of target length takes more in in surface wrap. bUt improves quality.
• Surface which are open will give bad surface wrap.
