Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly
AIM :
To check for the geometrical errors and delete surfaces which are unwanted for surface wrap and to Merge all 3 models and perform surface wrap.
Target length for Wrap = 3 mm
PROCEDURE :
Engine :
- Open ANSA and import parts seperately to cleanup the geometry to unwanted single and triple con errors
- Delete the unwanted surfaces and overlapping surfaces from the engine
- Delete the circle like structures which are present in the engine are unwanted
- Cleanup the engine
Gear box :
- Import the gear box into the ANSA and cleanup the unwanted and overlapping surfaces to avoid the errors
Transmission model :
- Import the transmission model into the ANSA and perform the TOPO cleanup
- Delete the unwanted and overlapping surfaces
MERGING :
- Go to file and select the merge option and select the parts that are to be merged as an assembly
- Delete the unwanted volumes like pipes and belts from the assembly
- Fill the holes with the new faces option to avoid glitches in the surface mesh
MESHING :
- Go to volumetric mesh and select the Wrap and constant wrap
- Double click on the status to change the status of the wrap
- Select the contents that are to be wrapped and delete the wanted PIDs with the help of compress option
- Now click on RUN to run the wrap process
- It will take some time to wrap the assembly
- After that the status is changed to ready then the model is wrapped
- The wrapped model is shown below
The Surface wrap of the assembly is performed.
