Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge

Our Objective is :-Follow the below-mentioned quality criteria, mesh the component given below and assign thickness

INNER EXTRACT

There are four different components in the file when we import it,First of all make sure that only “Inner Extract” component is active Afterwards Delete all solids from the component,then Create Mid surface for only Inner Extract by selecting particular surfaces.

Since this component is axis symmetric, we can cut it in to half and mesh it.

shown in above image, split the midsurface and keep half of that for meshing.

Start the Meshing with the closed area with less free edges,And avoid washer surfaces if possible.

Keep the Mesh flow as per geometry and create mesh with less tria elements.

Complete the mesh of the hald portion of the Inner Extract as shown in above image.

Now we can reflect the elements on the other side and complete the total mesh on the component.

As shown in above image, elements are reflected on the other side. make sure that elements are in proper connectivity So, create equivalence between the elements which are in symmetric line and make them connected as shown in above image.

Thus we can complete the Meshing process for “Inner Extract” component.

Now we will move to outer hood

Here we can see the component is axis symmetric, so we can cut it into half.

As shown in above image, the component is divided in to half.

Create Midsurface after deleting solids from Outer Extract as shown in below image

As shown in above image, the hemming portion of the component is very thin.So, after creating midsurface, we can toggle the extra edges and split the component from the curvature area as shown in above image and easily create mesh without minimum length element.For easy and structured mesh, create rectangular portions by splitting the geometry with lines.

Start with the curved or radius portion to avoid minimum length elements and step by step create mesh as shown in above image.We can further divide the curved portion marked in above image and create better quality elements in that region.

Reflect the Mesh and create equivalence in the symmetry region.Thus we can complete the Mesh of “Outer Extract” component with better mesh flow.

LATCH and HINGE EXTRACT

Delete solids and create Mid surface for Latch Reinforcement Extract component. Do necessary cleanup and toggle extra edges.

Remove edge fillets from marked portion for better mesh quality.As shown in above image, create washer surface with 5 mm distance and split the surface for better mesh structure.

Keep the mesh flow as per geometry.Avoid tria elements at the free edges.As shown in above image, create mesh at the centre first and then proceed further for good mesh and complete the entire mesh for Latch Reinforcement extract.

Here there are components in Hinge Reinforcement Extract.If we create mesh only for one, we can reflect it on other.So, delete solids and create midsurface for only one part.As shown in above image, avoid creating washer surface for the holes for better mesh arrangement.toggle the edges where minimum length element can occur.

As shown in above image, mesh is created at the inner most area where less free edges are there.Then followed by them, rest of the part is meshed.

As shown in above image, after creation of mesh on one part, with reflect option, mesh is reflected on the other part as well.Thus we can apply mesh on both the parts of Hinge Reinforcement Extract.

THICKNESS

After meshing all the components, apply thickness to all.after applying thickness, complete Meshed Hood will look as shown in above image.

After that I changed the color of my desire, that suits for good looking of component

NOW WE WILL SHOW FINAL MODEL
