Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly
Report on the surface wrap
Aim:
To clean the engine model from errors and assemble those for a surface wrap of mesh length of 5mm using ANSA.
Procedure:
- Import the engine files and clear all the unnecessary tubes and surfaces/faces.
- Hiding the engine parts at first using not command under PID mode, helps to clear it in one go.
- Later do the same for the Transmission and gearbox. Delete the double and single cons.
- Now merge all three models into one using the merge option.
- Better close all the opened surfaces (holes) so the wrap won’t be distorted.
- For wrapping, we can use either wrap in element box or Wrap in octree command.
- For wrapping compress, all the unwanted or unassigned PIDs are then set the parameters such as wrap element size 5mm and mesh type to triangular.
- Now, select the PIDs and press Run to Wrap-up.
Learning outcome:
- Learned how to wrap a model.
- How to merge two components
Results:
Successfully wrapped the engine using ANSA.
