TETRA MESH ON CASTING COMPONENT

AIM:-To perform tetra mesh on the given components

PROCEDURE:-

  • First, we need to import the model
  • Then after we need to clean the geometry
  • After that, we need to perform shell mesh using trias
  • Then we need to go to 3D pannel and we need to mesh the volume
  • Then we need to fix the quality

GEOMETRY CLEAN UP

  • We need go to import and select Import and select the file type and import

  • After importing we need to set quality parameters that are the same for all the model
  • In 3d we need set yet collapse and set as 0.15

  • After that, we need to clean the geometry
  • First, we need to clean the geometry.
  • To clean the set view to visualization and set geometry color mode to mixed.
  • See whether errors are present we need to clear them.
  • If errors are not present we need come to move further mesh.
  • For geometry cleanup, we need to go to geometry and select quick edit

  • To split the surface we use split with node and split with line
  • To reduce the concentration at the hole we need to select the washer
  • To unsplit surface, we need to use unsplit surface
  • To paste or to trim we use toggle edges
  • The raw geometry has the missing surface to fill the surface we need to use the filler surface
  • To delete surface we use delete surf
  • To replace or combine the points we need to use replace point
  • To add or remove a point we need to use the add/remove point
  • Mid surface after cleaning the geometry

  • Before cleaning

  • After cleaning

MESHING:

  • For the parts which are greater than 6mm, we need to do solid meshing.
  • There are two types of meshing one is a structured mesh one is an unstructured mesh.
  • After meshing makes sure that we do not have any tetcollapse issue.

UNSTRUCTURED MESH:-

  • From the name itself, we can understand the mesh is unstructured.
  • To perform this mesh we must follow the process first we need to do perform a 2d mesh of trias/R trias.
  • After that, we need to convert it to volume by those 2d mesh formed on the surface.
  • There majorly three ways to perform mesh two are automatic and one is manual.
  • Before any mesh, we need to give quality parameters and give the target element size and click on apply.


  • After that, we need to do mesh on the surface with trias as mesh
  • Go to 2d select auto mesh and then select surface and set mesh type as trias and press mesh

  • Then we need to do 3D mesh for that we need to go 3D select tetra mesh and select tetra mesh.
  • select the element and mesh them.
  • Before mesh, we need to set mesh parameters in it.

  • Mesh done perfectly no quality issues
  • If any issues we need to fix them by remesh or by going again to tetra mesh you can fix 3d elements
  • Open that file and set the target element size and give parameters that to we resolved and then set fix quality
  • After we need to select show elements failed and then select to fix it.

  • The other method just goes to volume tetra and select component and give the mesh.
  • The automatic mesh we need to go to view browser select hyper mesh utility and go to geo/mesh select quick tetra

VOLUME MESH FOR THE COMPONENTS

  • There are various ways to perform tetra mesh-like performing 2d tetra and perform volume mesh or directly goto volume tetra and perform mesh
  • The way to perform tetra mesh is to mesh 2d and mesh with 3d

CONCLUSION:

  • learned how to perform volume mesh
  • learned how to capture fillet area properly
  • learned the difference between structured and unstructured mesh
  • learned how to resolve tetcollapse issues
