Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge

OBJECTIVE:To mesh the given component with Target element length 5mm.with minimum tria concentarion and following given quality criteria

CAD Model:

Inner extract

Outer Extract:

Hinge Reinforcement Extract:

Latch Reinforcement Extract:

Procedure:

• we need to work on components individually
• first we need to import the model by selecting import model<go to file location and select the model<click on import.
• Then we need to check the model is there any geometrical errors are there and free edges are present inside the model.
• By using geometry cleanup tools we can remove the free edges like using replace,toggle such type of commands.

• Then go to geametry <midsurface<select auto midsurface<select auto extraction in that select offset+planes+sweep option.<select surface by displayed<click on extract.The mid surface will generate.
• Now we need to clean the midsurface geometry by geometry cleaning tools.
• go to tool<check elements < and give quality conditions as given.
• then go to 2D<automesh<select surfaces<then generate the mesh.
• during mesh clean up process we need to follow trial and error method of automesh we will clean the mesh by low tria percentage
• Now go to Quality index here the it will show how many elements are failed we can resolve failed elements by element optimise and remeshing and replacing nodes.we need to do this upto failed elements to become zero.

Result:

The given component is meshed according to given quality conditions with out any failed elements.
