Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge
AIM:
To Mesh the given "HOOD MODEL" by satisfying the given quality criteria and with a target element size of "5mm".
OBJECTIVE:
To Follow the mentioned quality criteria, mesh the component given with a target element size of "5mm" and assign thickness:
PROCEDURE:
STEP-1: EXTRACTING MID SURFACE FOR THE GIVEN COMPONENTS:
