Week 8-3D Tetra Meshing Challenge

Aim- To Create a Teramesh for given models with the respective quality criteria given.

Objectives-

• Perform a proper geometric clean up on the surfaces.
• To Create a 3D Tetramesh with the respective quality criteria given.

Model 1.

• Import the given geometry file in the Hyperworks.
• Press the 'F' key to fit the model in the window.
• Observe the geometry closely one can find out the component is symmetric and toggle the edge or line which is below the minimum element size.
• In this model, TetraMesh Generation Method given is a 2D to 3D Conversion so we need to mesh the component with a 2D mesh initially.
• After the completion of the 2D mesh next step is to convert it to the 3D mesh by selecting the elements selection tool in the tetra mesh panel.

• Now, check the meshed component for Tet collapse by pressing F10>3D>Tet collapse.
• If any element got failed then try to overcome using the translate option.

Model 2.

• Import the given geometry file in the Hyperworks.
• Press the 'F' key to fit the model in the window.
• Observe the geometry closely one can find out the component is symmetric and toggle the edge or line which is below the minimum element size.
• In this model, TetraMesh Generation Method given is a Quick Tetra Mesh/ Volume Tetra Mesh.
• After the completion of the 2D mesh next step is to convert it to the 3D mesh by selecting the elements selection tool in the tetra mesh panel.

• Now, check the meshed component for Tet collapse by pressing F10>3D>Tet collapse.
• If any element got failed then try to overcome using the translate option.

Model 3.

• Import the given geometry file in the Hyperworks.
• Press the 'F' key to fit the model in the window.
• We can find 5 components in the window. now one by one try to mesh the component as per the given method i.e Quick Tetra Mesh/ Volume Tetra Mesh.
• Observe the geometry closely one can find out the component is symmetric and toggle the edge or line which is below the minimum element size.
• In this model, TetraMesh Generation Method given is a Quick Tetra Mesh/ Volume Tetra Mesh so we need to mesh the component with a 2D mesh initially.
• After the completion of the 2D mesh next step is to convert it to the 3D mesh by selecting the elements selection tool in the tetra mesh panel.

Conclusions-

• Performed a proper geometric clean up on the surfaces.
• Created a 3D Tetramesh with the respective quality criteria given.
