Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly

CHALLENGE 5:  SURFACE WRAP ON AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY

AIM:

        To surface Wrap on given Automotive Assembly.

PROCEDURE:

• First import the model to ansa workspace.

 

 

• we can see there are many unwanted tubes arounf the engine part so delete it

• delete the unwanted part present in the engine.

• we have to delete the overlapping surfaces that are present in the surfaces.

• isolate the engine's main parts which are necessary and delete the unwanted parts.

• after deleting the unwanted parts engine will look like as shown in above fig.

• there are some other parts which are intersecting with the needed parts so we have to delete it everything.

• after deletion of intersecting part we have to close the openings wherever present in the engine part.

• the engine will look after closing all the opening as shown in above fig.

• after completing the engine cleanup open gearbox model into ansa workspace.

• as we can see over there red cons present we need to clear so delete the face over there.

• create a new face over the deleted face.

• so now isolate the bolts in the top of gearbox and and work on it.

• we can see there triple cons are present so delete the intersecting face.

 

• the gearbox is completed now.

• open the transmission model in new ansa workspace.

• delete the intersecting part as shown in above fig.

• isolate the part and delete the intersecting part. 

• isolate the bolts as we have to work on it.

• now delete the intersecting face.

• the transmission part is completed.

• go to the file menu and select the merge option and a popup open box opens select the transmission and click ok.

• now make sure all are default property and click ok.

• we can see the zero errors and warnings in the popup. which means the part is correctly merged.

• now do it again for the gear box.

• now the given parts are merged as shown in above fig.

• now we have to close all the openings present in the whole model.

• now the openings are closed. and the model is completed.

• now go for mesh tab and go for wrap option in elements tab.

• double click on the name and a popup opens. 

   

• now open the parameters and assign the mesh length and rename it.

• now open the contents and select all the pid's and click green arrow. and click ok.

• we can see that the parameters are assigned, now we can select RUN at top. and wait untill it done.

RESULTS:

• So the given challenge is completed now.

CONCLUSION:

• I have learned to clear a complicated geometry of automotive assembly.
• Throughout the challenge i've learnt to merge a part with other.
• I also learned to surface wrap a automotive assembly.
