Week- 5 - Solid meshing

Aim:

To create a tetrahedral Finite Element model for the given Rear view mirror component and check for the geometrical errors and mesh the Surfaces with the given 2D element Quality criteria.

Procedure:

Step 1:

Import the given CAD model to ANSA.

Step 2:

Do a Topology check and do geometric clean up. By doing it, the CAD errors are resolved.

Step 3:

Create respective PID for the different CAD parts.

Step 4:

Generate the tria mesh for each respective CAD PID’s. After which the FE model is to be cleared for minimum and maximum quality.

Step 5:

From the generated Tria mesh, the tetra FEM is created for each part. After which the tetra parts are checked for Tet collapse 0.2.

Learning outcomes:

I learnt to create solid tetra mesh for the given Rear view mirror component.

Conclusion:

3D tetra FE model was created for the given Rear view mirror component CAD model.
