Week 5 Challenge : Surface wrap on Automotive Assembly

Project:

Aim: To Merge all 3 models and perform surface wrap.

Objective: 

1. To perform geometry cleanup for all 3 models individually.
2. To merge all 3 models together.
3. To perform surface wrap on compounded model with 3 mm of target length.
4. To study the surface wrap.

Procedure:

1. Geometry cleanup:

• Geometry cleanup of engine model:
• Download the model and open it in ansa gui.
• study the model.
• perform topo.
• delete unnecessary entities.
• create required surfaces.
• try to make model free from single cons.
• reduce tripple cons as much as possible.
• perform topo.
• check needle faces. 
• repeat same procedure for other 2 models.

2. Merging all 3 models:

• opened cleaned engine model in new GUI.
• then used File - merge - d - ansa - transmission.1
• and then selected auto fit model and merge parts.
• with 0 offset.
• 
• repeated same procedure and merge gear box to existing model.
• all three merged parts as shown
• 

3.Surface wrap:

• selected mesh deck
• mesh deck - elements - Wrap (constant)
• then status - parameters - named as full_mesh and target length as 3 mm - ok.
• opened PId manager - deleted unnecessary PIDs using compress tool.
• then contents - moved all PIDs to octree scenario - ok.
• then run the wrap and got the wraped model.
•  
• then studied the model and check from inside as its look one volume from inside.

Result and conclusion: All 3 models merged together and performed surface wrap on it with desired target length. The final model is attached below.
