Procedure
For to complete the solid meshing for the given element. It is mandatory to follow the procedure in step by step
Step 1: Check and ensure that the given drawing doesn't have any damages.
Step 2: Do topo for the model and check that all the cons are bonded and tied with other cons perfectly
Step 3: Check the gemetrical errors as follows
Go to CHECK tab and select gemetry and execute the program, the below errors will be avilable for the model and need rectify it.
- Needle face
- Pont face
- Broken face
Resolve the gemetry errors and make the model 100% cleaned geometry.

Before gemetry clean up After geometry clean up
Step 4:Now the model is cleaned up and ready for meshing
Enable the mesh parametrs such as minimumlength is 0.5,maximum length 2 and target length 1. And also select the element type as ortho tria.
By Using spot mesh do the meshing for the given element.And also please select the element type based on the features as given below.
- For curved features choose the element type Ortho tria
- For plane features choose the tria element type
And complete the meshing with appropriate element type based on the element features.


Step 5:
Also check the king pins and raised edges over the meshed surface. Rectify the king pins and raised pins by reconstructing the mesh.


Raised edges, king pin Rectified king pin,raised edges
Check the all the areas of the model for defects in the meshed model and then go to the quality criteria such as
- Minimum length
- Maximumlength
Clear and rectify all the areas where the quality parametrs doesn't meet the required values.


Quality parametrs failure All the quality parametrs achived
Learning out come:
Learned how to do solid meshing for the structured component
Conclusion:
Complted the creation of solid meshing for the given element.
