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 given maximum length 2mm average length 1 mm minimum length 0.5 mm.

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

tet collapse 0.2

procedure :

import the model into ansa and change the name of components in the property managers

select show only on the mirror housing in a property manager, set cons resolution to 1, check geometry fix it, do topo to make double cons, orient auto outside as grey.

uncut unnecessary cons using topo faces cut with right-click.

after this use dach in topo faces to convert champer into edges .

set quality and mesh parameters for as given.

use orthotria in best in mesh module to make the 2d mesh .

use improve -> reconstruct to remove any min max length faliure.

go to v mesh, define volume sect work on visible instead of whole database, run pre volume diagnostic checks. if okay create a new volume in pid manager, and use tetra rapid to make volumetric mesh.

use improve reconstruct option in v mesh to correct the tetcollapse.

repeat for other components

conclusion: in this i learned how to do solid meshing of the component, use of dach tool, extracting volume and defining it, volumetric mesh .
