Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge

AIM: To create the Mid-Surface and generate a mesh on the given Hood panel.

Procedure:

• The model is imported using the import option and need to keep the file type STEP as per given model file type.
• Check the geometry if required cleanup the geometry errors it results quality mesh.
• By using different options, we can clean up the geometry errors like auto cleanup, Quick edit.
• After geometry cleanup create a Mid-Surface using auto mid surface option.
• In mid surface keep extracting option as Skin Offset according to close/accurate mid surface creation need to do changes in extracting options.
• By keeping Skin Offset option in Extracting options extract the mid surface.
• After extracting the mid-surface to the given model then delete the solid body.
• The construction lines are arranged in such a way to achieve better mesh flow.
• The given quality criteria are entered in the element cleanup in the edit criteria option.
• After entering the quality criteria, the mesh is generated.
• Created mesh can be optimized using the tools like split, element optimize, drag tria, etc.,
• The mesh can be generated by using rebuild mesh in order to create a better mesh.
• After meshing one half of the model, the elements are selected and it can be reflected using reflected using reflect option in the tool option.
• After reflecting the elements to the other side, the free edges are to be checked and it can be fixed using equivalence option in the edges option under tool option.
• Given Quality criteria values entered in Preference-Criteria file settings and then apply ok.
• After completing the meshing go to Tool option select check elements option to check element Wrap, Skew, Length, Jacobian, Tapers, Tria and Quad angles, etc.,

Conclusion: Meshing will be done by creating a Mid-surface to the Hood with the given quality criteria values optimize the mesh flow in the Hyper mesh.
