Week 6-Meshing of Hood Challenge

OBJECTIVE

• To mesh the given components below and assign the thickness provided, also to verifiy the given quality criteria upon the model.

PROCEDURE

• Geommetry was imported @IMPORT>FILES>IMPORT>GEOMETRY>ALL>IMPORT.
• Delete solids @DELETE>SOLIDS>SOLIDS>ALL/DISPLAYED>OK>DELETE ENTITY.
• Midsurface was extracted using @GEOMETRY>MIDSURFACE>AUTO-EXTRACTION>SURF.>ALL>EXTRACT>OK.
• Auto-cleanup was performed before meshing @GEOMETRY>AUTOCLEANUP>EDIT>CRITERIA>SURF.>ALL>SELECT>AUTOCLEANUP.
• Washer split was assigned for open phases in the model @GEOMETRY>QUICK EDIT>WASHER SPLIT>OFFSET '5'>LINES>SELECT>OK.
• Then mesh was deployed using @2D>AUTOMESH>SURF.>MIXED>MESH.
• After meshing quality index criteria was applied using @2D>QUALITY INDEX>PAGE 4>EDIT CRITERIA>INPUT VALUES>APPLY>OK.
• Cleanup tools were used at quality index for modification of elements.
• Elements were projected to the surface using @TOOLS>PROJECT>TO SURFACE>select ELEMENTS>select SURFACE>PROJECT.

SCREENSHOTS

• @Sample 1, Imported the model.
• @Sample 2, Extracted midsurface for meshing.
• @Sample 3, Meshing was done on the midsurface.
• @Sample 4, Given quallity criteria was checked upon the element.

Tria concentration were tried to reduce with mesh flow.
