Week 6- Challenge

OBJECTIVE:To create the mesh for the given component with as per given quality criteria and assign the thickness and extract the midsurface for the each of the component.

PROCEDURE: 1.Import the geometry model and then extract the mid surface of the component and make the geometry cleanup manually and use the mid surface proper option to get the good mid surface and made the midsurface component for each of the component.

THE ABOVE FIG'S SHOWS THE MIDSURFACE OF THE ALL THE COMPONENTS

2.Mesh the given component half as per the quality criteria and maintain the flow and check the element connectivity and other quality parametres and mesh the another half of component by using the reflect option in the tool command and again check for connectivity and free edges of components and quality of components.

THE ABOVE FIG SHOWS THE MESHED COMPONENTS AS PER QUALITY CRITERIA.

3.STEPS TO FOLLOW WHILE MESHING

• using the automesh option mesh the given surface of component with given taget element size and quality criteria.
• If the quality criteria such as warpage min and max length and min and max quad fails and try to correct using remesh or the using the translate optionand after clearing the quality smooth the geometry meshed area and check the connectivity of the elements.
• Avoid the opposite trias and the rotating quad elements and check connectivity is not there use the replace option to connect the nodes of particular elements.
• check the quality using the F10 option to check the quality criteria and duplicates and if duplicates is there clear that using the save failed and then select elements and delets the selected entity.
• To clear the opposite trias use the quality index option with cleanup tools and in that drag tria element option to clear the opposite trias.
• To clear the rotating quad remesh the  elements or split the elements with a given split option.
• If the min and max element size failed remesh the elements or use the translate element .
• If the warpage fails (deviation of element from the surface) and correct it with translate option or the split and remesh the element.
• To smooth elements to make size of the element correct use the shift F12 option.
• To check the element connectivity use the shift F3 option to make the display elements and equialence to make the nodes equivalence and then find edges and delete edges with tolerance of 0.5mm.

 4.After the meshing of the components and checking of the quality criteria assign the thickness for each of the component given and steps to follow the assign of thickness.

steps to follow while assign the thickness

• first to create the component for each one of the component using the profile in radioos and then create the property using the card image as a part and type surface with section shell and with a particular thickness .
• create the component and property for each one of the component and then assign the thickness for the particular given components and these can be viewed the component in the 2d detailed representation.
• creating the component by clicking the component name as thickness of the component and card image as part.
• creating the property by clicking on properties by property name as a thickness and type as a surface and card image as the sectionshell and mention the thickness and create the property.

 CONCLUSION

• In this model i learnt the extraction of midsurface,geometry cleanup,and meshing of the model with a given quality criteria and maintain of the flow and assign the thickness to the given model.
