Aim :

For the given models, check for the geometrical errors and delete surfaces that are unwanted for Surface wrap as shown in the videos. After clearing geometry, Merge all 3 models and perform surface wrap.

Procedure :

1. Did the topo cleanup of the Engine, Specific attention was only given to the outside surfaces.

2. Removed Rings and other external structures that would interfere with the surface wrap

3. Closed all holes so as to not cause interference during surface meshing.

4. Learned the proper Usage of the Surface mesh option using constant length.

5. Performed topo cleanup for the gearbox and transmission as well.

6. Compressed unwanted PIDs.

7. Merged the parts using the Merge Option successfully.

8. Applied Constant Lenght Surface Wrap on the entire model.

9. Made corrections and checked if the wrap was perfect.

Procedure Snapshots :

Conclusion :

Learned how to Surface Wrap properly. Understood the concepts of Surface Wrap with Constant length. Understood the importance of creating a smooth surface which involves closing holes and such so as to not get any distortions of the wrap. Using other options in the Mesh Tab to correct any errors. Also Learned how to merge components together successfully.
