Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge
Meshing of Hood
AIM
To generate the mesh in the given model with proper element quality and give proper thickness on it.
PROCEDURE
Import the model.

steps Involve
- Extracting Mid-surface and assigning properties.
- Meshing the surface with in the given quality criteria.

After importing the geometry, the geometry is checked for any missing surfaces
5 component can be extract seperately.
And delete the solid and to create the midsurface on it.
midsurface can be extract properly.
Outer_extract_body1
Delete the soild.
And extract the automesh with element quality of 5 units.

Mesh the element.

Inner_extract_body1
Delete the soild.
And extract the automesh with element quality of 5 units.

Mesh the element

Hinge_reinforcement_extract_body1
Delete the soild.
And extract the automesh with element quality of 5 units.

Mesh the element.

Hinge_reinforcement_extract_body2
Delete the soild.
And extract the automesh with element quality of 5 units.

Mesh the element.

Latch_reinforcement_extract_body1
Delete the soild.
And extract the automesh with element quality of 5 units.

Mesh the element.

Target Element Length = 5 Units
Failure can be cleared by the qualityindex, element cleanup, checkelement.
All element can be check with proper quality criteria.
Create the material with proper young's modulus, poison ratio, rho
Create the property with assigning the matrial and thickness to the component.
Use TOOL < NORMAL





CONCLUSION
For the given hood panel mid-surface is extracted and mesh is generated with in the given quality criteria.
