Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge

OBJECTIVE: My objective of this project is to mesh the solid parts using the required crietria of mesh by obtaining their mid surface.

PROCEDURE: In order to mesh the given solid parts according to our desired criteria of mesh, following steps have been taken:

1) Obtain the midsurface of the given solid part by deleting the solid body.

2) Set the meshing criteria as required (shown in figure below)

3) Construct washer split along the boundries of hole.

4) Mesh the surface by selecting all of its surface and use 5mm as an element size and mixed method.

5) Try to optimize the failed elements by remeshing or by using quality check control tabs by using various tools like moving the node, dragging the triangulated element, optimise the quad element etc.

6) Map all the elements to its respective surface by using Tools-> project.

7) Try to delete and contruct new elements if required.

8) Finally all the meshing parameters should achieve successfully without voilating any threshold (as shown in figure)

9) Similarly others parts of the hood model have been meshed(as shown below)

FIG: MESH OF OUTER PART

FIG: MESH OF LATCH

Minimum size voilation are seen due to thin layer between connecting fillet surfaces of latch.

FIG: MESH OF WHOLE HOOD ASSEMBLY

CONCLUSION: Mesh has been obtained for the required parameter of the whole assembly.
