Week- 8 - Solid meshing

Aim: For the given Rear view mirror component, the geometrical errors are checked and surfaces to be meshed with the given 2D element Quality criterias

Procedure

• First TOPO is done followed by perimeters length and macros to 1mm
• Checks Geometry is performed and all the errors are eliminated
• Mesh Parameters and Quality Parameters are setup as per the question i.e target length: 1mm, Min Length 0.5mm, Max Length : 2mm.
• Fillet and Complex region ortho tria meshes are performed and remaining areas normal tria meshing is done.
• To fill the volume with 3d elements, go to volume mesh, define the enclosed volume and mesh the part with TETRA FEA Elements.

Learning Outcomes

• Understood difference between Tetra Rapid and Tetra FEA
• Can perform 3 D meshing to enclosed volume.

Conclusion: 3D meshing is performed but i faced issues while using collapse elements.
