Week- 5 - Solid meshing

Solidmeshing of Component:

Quality criterias:

1. Traget/Average Length = 1

2. Minimum Length = 0.5

3. Maximum Length = 2

4. Tetcollapse = 0.2

Step 1 - Geometry Cleanup :

Step 1 - Geometry Cleanup:

• Give topo to whole model.
• Corrected the orientation in Entity Mode. By giving orient – Visible command.

• Check the geometry if it is fine or not. By using Check Manager -> Geometry.
• To remove select & show each triple cons. Use 1^st neighbor command to show cons connected to this triple cons. Then release the cons connected to this triple cons.

• Now use delete hotspot command to delete extra hotpoints. Then add required hotspots & Give topo command.

• The triple cons will be removed. Some triple cons which are formed by intersecting of two different surfaces should be kept as it is as these are important.

Step 2 - Meshing

• Set Target length = 1 using length and check all fillets & surfaces if it is failing anywhere measuring node to node.
• Set mesh parameters as per the requirement given in question. Also set mesh pattern to ortho tria.
• Do Meshing at fillet & curved surfaces first using Spot Mesh with ortho tria method.
• Do Meshing of remaining flat surface mesh using spot mesh with normal tria method.

Step 3 - Volume Mesh

• Go to volume mesh module.
• Select the model part by part using visual toolbar and PID Region Selection.
• Form 3 different parts 1.Mirror Area 2.Mirror Body 3.Mirror Stand
• Define each part one by one using manual define.
• Do Tetra Rapid mesh in unstructured mesh tool bar.
• Remesh the volume parts in order to define the volume using list properties.
• Check for any tetcollapse resolve it using Improve toolbar.
• If any kinks resolve it using restructure.

Finally the required model with required criteria is obtained.
