Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly

Aim: To merge all three models and perform Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly

Procedue:

• surface wrap is the analysis on the outer surface only. So, first clear the geometry – delete all extra surfaces.
• Remove all unchecked surfaces which are smaller than mesh length and needs to be removed, isolate those and remove one by one.
• delete all extra surfaces which are not required
• remove all thinner parts from the geometry for surface wrap
• fill all major holes in the model

• similarly check for discrepancies in transmission and gear box models also
• now merge all models for checking errors. Use FILE—MERGE option. ensure MERGE MODEL WITH CURRENT MODEL is selected and MERGE MODEL option is checked in

• now we have filled all major holes. we can go to MESH mode for surface meshing
• delete unwanted PIDs using COMPRESS option (PIDS reduced from 1583 to 114)
• click on WRAP option in ELEMENTS tag of MESH mode

• set mesh length as 3 mm in PARAMETERS
• now contents and parameters are defined then click on RUN
• surface wrap is completed

• merged model file attached
