            - The Model 'Hood' has four parts:

            1. Latch reinforcement
            2. Hinge reinforcement
            3. Inner Extract
            4. Outer extract
               

            Here, we mesh by Parts:

            1. Latch reinforcement
               
               In order to mesh the given component, we follow the following steps:
               
               1. We begin by extracting the mid surface
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
               2. Provide washer from washer split option of offset value of 5mm
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
               3. Here we clean the mid surface by removing unwanted notes and toggling unnecessary lines
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
               4. Now we start Mesh the whole surface one by one, according to the provided meshing criteria
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
               5. At last we smooth our Mesh and optimize Quality criteria,
                  
                  
                  
                  
                  
               
               
               
               
            2. Hinge reinforcement
               
               
               1. In order to mesh the given component, we follow the follow same steps as above:
               1. Extract Midsurface
                  
                  
               2. Provide washer and toggle the surface with appropriate shape then Mesh the surface
                  

                  
                  
                  
                  
                  

               3. Now we have to reflect the Mesh on another side of Hinge, which is symmetrical.
                  First, we define the midpoint between the 2 symmetric surfaces, from the 'Distance' option in Geometry
                  
                  Now, we use this point to reflect mesh on another side
                  
                  
                  
               4. After reflection, we check for Free Edges and delete them.
                  
                  
               5. At last, we use 'Quality check' to check the quality of mesh.
                  
                  
               
               
               
               
            3. Inner Extract
               
               
               1. 1. In order to mesh the given component, we follow the following steps:
                     
               1. 1. We begin by extracting the mid surface
                     
                     
                     
                     
                  2. Here we clean the mid surface by removing unwanted notes and toggling unnecessary lines and simultaneously Meshing them.
                     
                     
                     
                     
                     
                     
                     
                     
                  3. Now we Reflect the Mesh to another side, in order to reflect the mesh on another symmetric side, we use the 'Reflect' option under the 'tool' option.
                     
                     
                     
                     
                     
                  4. Now we delete the unwanted free edges and Equivalence them. and also check the Quality index.
                     
                     
                     
               
               
               
               
            4. Outer extract
               
               Here also we follow the same procedure, to Mesh the Outer surface
               1) Extract the mid surface
               
               2) Clean the surface by removing unwanted nodes and toggling unnecessary lines
               
               
               
               3) Divide the whole area into simple areas and followed by Meshing
               
               
               
               
               
               4) Now we Reflect the same mesh on the symmetric part
               
               5) Finally we delete the unwanted free edges and Equivalence them. and also check the Quality index
               
               
               

At last, show all the parts, Meshed of our component
