Week- 5 - Solid meshing

Aim: For the given Rear view mirror component, check for the geometrical errors and mesh the Surfaces with the given 2D element Quality criteria are given below.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	1
2	Minimum Length	0.5
3	Maximum Length	2

Use tetra elements to mesh the Volumes defined in the model and check for the below quality after Volume meshing.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Tet collapse	0.2

• Given CAD model of Rearview mirror.

• Give length parameters of 1 for both parameter and micros, and check the quality of the given CAD model of the rearview mirror.

• Then the model is checked for geometrical using the checks manager for a given geometry.

• Then the mesh parameters and quality criteria are assigned
• 

• Now 2d mesh is performed over the surfaces with element type(tria and ortho tria).
• ortho_tria elements were used at the surface like fillets and curvature to capture features.
• First, the fillets, curvature regions were meshed with element type{othotria} and finally, the remaining plane surface are capture using trias.

3d

• Now the volume of the components was defined and TETRA Rapid mesh command is performed over the defined volume.

QUALITY
The elements failing for tet collapse are optimized using the move option without affecting mesh on the surface.

Results:
1. Performed geometry clean-up.
2. Performed tetra meshing with all elements passing the quality criteria.
