Week- 8 - Solid meshing

Aim:

To achieve the 3d mesh for the given model and meet the quality criteria.

Quality Criteria:

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Target/Average length	1
2	Minimum Length	0.5
3	Maximum Length	2

Using tetra elements to mesh the Volumes defined in the model and checking for the below quality after Volume meshing.

S.No	Quality Criteria	Value
1	Tet collapse	0.2

Procedure:

• First step is to give a topology clean-up.
• After that check for the geometry and clear any errors.

• Check the property tab for the assigned parts.
• 
• Work on the different parts one at a time.

Part_1:

I chose the mirror as my first part and worked on it.

• Assign the given length (Classic mesh>parimerters>length)i.e.1mm for both parameters and macros.
• We can start meshing for this part but before that set mesh parameters.
• 
• start meshing (Classic mesh>Mesh generation>spot mesh)
• Curved surfaces should be meshed using ortho tria and flat surfaces using normal trias.
• 
• The next step is to do the 3d meshing.
• Go to volume mesh and define the volume (Volume mesh>Volumes>Define & List)
• 
• Then start 3d meshing (Volume mesh>Unstructured mesh>Tetra Rapid or Tetra FEM)
• 
• 
• Thus this completes the 3d meshing.
• Following the same procedure we can do the 3d meshing for the remaining parts.

Part_2:

Part_3:

Part_4:

• Total model after the 3d solid meshing
• 

Result:

Meshed the given model with the given quality criteria and obtained the complete volume meshed Rearview mirror.
