Week- 6 - Solid meshing

REPORT

AIM

To generate tetra mesh or unstructured mesh on the given rear view mirror component after checking geometric errors without kinks or dips on the surface of the model.

PROCEDURE

First performed topo and set target element length mesh-permeter-length. Then checked for geometric errors, and performed autofix. And i started meshing, i used orthotria for curved surfaces and tia for flat surfaces and used best mesh option. To satisfy minimum length criteria i suppresed some cuts using topo- faces-cut and leftclick. To get better mesh flow i created some user cut and removed it later. To remove OFF elements i used reconstruction and smooth in mesh module.

There are 3 closed parts and i generated tetra mesh for that 3 parts.

this is volume 1

this is volume 2

this is volume 3

To create tetramesh, in Vmesh- volumes i defines the 3 volumes and to generate tetramesh i used volumes-list-remesh.

A couple of elements didnt pass collapse quality criteria so i used improve-fixquality.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

There are more than one ways to do a particular operation, but most of the times some methods dosent give results , so we have to try another way.

CONCLUSION

Generated the tetramesh for the component satisfying the given quality criteria and there are no kinks or dips on the surface of the component.

Due to large file size i am giving all 3 individual zip file.
