Procedure

• To import the bracket, Click on the Import Geometry icon from the tool bar or from the file drop down list and browse the file and click import.
• 
• There will be 5 compodents in the hood. We need to do quality check one by one.
• First we can do for hinge_reinforcement_extract_body1.
• Select the component in the tree and make current

• Delete the solid surface of the of Latch Reinforcement. By using delete icon.

• To create mid surface of the bracket, Select GEOM radio button and select the tool Mid Surface. Select
• 
• After creating the mid surface do the clean up by using autocleanup or manual clean up using quick edit.
• After finishing the quick edit, give a wasger fillet of about 5mm in the hole. By using quick edit option.
• 
• Now mesh the component by using automeshh under 2d element, giving 5mm as mesh length, make sure to select the quid in the option
• 
• 
• Once the meshing is finished we need to do quality check. In the 2d elements tools there will be quality index option select the option
• 

• The yellow colour are failed components meanwhile red are worst components. We need to rectify them by using these tool.

• 
• After finishing the element check. We need to do another one. In the tool option select Check elements.
• 
• Enter the table value and check for quality by selecting the icon. Make sure there will be zero error.
• Do the same for other two components.

• We need to give thickness and property to the component. Right click on the comment tree and select create. Search for material and properties and assign them to the component.
• Now open the hood and do mid surface.
• 
• Manually clean do clean up so that to avoid the error.
• 
• Since it’s a bigger component do one side of the hood. And add lines equally.
• 
• Do automesh by single part.
• 

• In this manner we need to go evenly to avoid Error. After finishing a single section do quality check and rectify the error.

  After finshing the single side of the meshing we can do reflect option since its identical component.

• 

• To mirror the surface, Select reflect option in Tool and select the element and select all select duplicate option to duplicate the elements and reflect them along y-axis.

• 
• Do the same for inner surface.
