Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly
Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly
Aim: Create surface wrap on automotive assembly
Objectives:
- 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 = 3 mm
- Write a detailed report on steps followed to finish this challenge.
Procedure:
- Delete the unwanted surfaces which are outside our area of interest.
- Delete the unwanted surfaces and geometries using delete option.
- Select unchecked surfaces and delete all the objects at once.
- Delete the bigger surfaces which are not required.
- Delete the rings.
- Delete the rings and unwanted spheres.
- Delete the flat surfaces like belts and chains as they are not properly captured in surface meshing.
- Fill the holes present
Gear box geometry:
- Use topo for the entire model.
- Fix the single cons and overlapping surfaces.
- Delete the overlapping surface
\
Similarly fix the errors in the transmission:
Fix the triple cons and delete unwanted surfaces.
Merge all three components:
Surface wrap the assembly by taking constant length.
Set target length as 3mm
Select PIDs
Run the surface wrap.
We get the surface wrap as below:
