Week- 8 - Solid meshing

AIM:

To perform tetra elements meshing for the rearview mirror component and there should not and kinks and dips on the surface of the component.

OBJECTIVE:

Import the CAD geometry of the model.
Clean up the geometry until no topological error is found.
Mesh geometry with target/average length of 1mm.
Define volume and create volume mesh.

PROCEDURE:

Import the model to ANSA software. it consists of a supporting part, a rotating ball, a mirror base, a mirror interior.

After importing the model, Topology has been created between selected adjacent cons for performing topological conditions between them. we need to check for topological errors and we have to clear errors like single cons, triple cons, unchecked faces, needle faces, etc.

Next, we will set the mesh parameter and quality criteria.

we have to set an average length of 1mm, we will select Ortho tria and 1st order.

MESHING:

2D Meshing:

3D Tetrahedral meshing:

For 3d meshing, we have to define a volume for the solid surface and after then we will have a mesh with tetra rapid mesh.

4. RESULT

Volume mesh is generated for the geometry with tetra unstructured mesh.
