ANSA TUTORIALS:

Week 1: session 1

Surface Meshing of a Cylinder

Forms double con: surface top and side surface share common edge

Need to do some Boolean operations to hide or get back surface

Or option is used to isolate by crossing on surface along opposite vertices

Cross edge must enabled to do above process
By clicking on OR option, and operatn to get back the hidden surfaces by clicking on any con
edge of hexagon but will show only surfaces having connect with the clicked con edge.
To get back right side hexagon of cylinder, click on neighbour al or all option

To hide surfaces
We have 3 hot points in hexagon n we can insert more
project hot point
WEE 2: VIDEO 1

6 points are created by using parametric method

To project multiple points on opposite face

Points got selected then do middle click and then edges of opposite are selected

To cut

Then 1st and last points on opposite faces are selected

By click right click on any line that we don’t want to cut through, it will undo that cut line

TO MESH:
PARAMETERS ARE GREEN LINED small SPACED LINE
MACROS ARE SMALL area between small SPACED points(nodes). These areas define the
mesh elements

Box selection all the entities then do middle click to get

3 value is given to perimeters. It means giving length of mesh element. then checkin micros
then middle click and give value 3 to micros
Now we can start doing meshing:

Click on surface then middle click to get mesh on it

If want to change the element size then box select the surfaces then give value for eg 1 then
long press on ‘spot me’ then re-generate
If want to hide peripoints
Week 2: video 1: Surface meshing on a Pressure valve

Select topo for topological cleanup

Select geometry check

Gives another window
Click on templates

There so many in built checks

First is selected

some more checks that ANSA does

gives this much errors need to solve
The surfaces that are not shared with true surfaces ie. Yellow
This is single con as one surface need to resolve

this is visibility options

 turn on again to solve

Hot points end points of line

 right click to see more

when hole is present in existing surface to fill it

Con is a line that constitutes in making of invalid surface like hole
 select all the cons of
hole

middle click
on mouse will give below notification

click on cross
hatches to get a surface in hole
it means when we select one line, the other lines in loopwill get selected

cl
ick middle of mouse will give preview
Fitted is same as coons then planner is like plane surface
Now moving to Faces: click on new
to fill hole in existing surface

middle mouse click

then select the cross of existing face
Middle mouse click
if we don’t want to select entire hole then
 then we see there is
aproblem

not correct. Hole means some regular hole. For this some other method
this method can delete anything called universal delete option
Or go back to
turn off these to get how many holes are left

ctr + shift together to get wireframe mode

These are double cons
There are no vertical cross line
We will generate face from 2 single cons only when both are having equal length check in
wireframe mode

select all the single cons to create surface. On wireframe double click to select con
to get back model
no alternative surface and generated surface preview not correct
try with entity method
showing status all okay
In CFD analysis we need model with closed surfaces
Still bottom open
gives triple con formation blue color
3 surfaces are intersecting

to isolate with entity mode on

like curved inward surface formed that is wrong

But triple con is not always wrong or error so in this case its not wrong
1 is to get adjacent body get back to which we click on
2 gives all neighbour surfaces to the visible surfaces on screen
3 shows everything

WEEK 2 SESSION 2 VIDEO:

Topo clean up: single cons clean up

before execute checkin this

shows 4 errors ie model has triple cons

select errors will highlight errors

turn off 2 n 3 cons

along with hot points, cross points
Now on only wireframe mode n off shadow mode
No 1 con is reflecting. Similar for 2 cons
As we never consider 2 cons as error here n similarly 3 cons here

its disturving correct curve of surface here. So need to remake it

Using cut option,

Click on cut and rub over the line and check its color is different from surrounding

same
Some more lines to delete refer video

PID mode and how to assign PID

PSHELL
THIS much created
To assign the PID object

To isolate the object above option

We need to select multiple surfaces, to get 1 object isolated
to isolate click or option and click on outer body 36 shell property to get it isolated then mid
click of mouse

Wireframe mode then middle to isolate outer part only

Drag and select the outer body then middle click

hiding these parts

creating new pid

3 new pids are made

turn off this shadow mode to get this view
apply the pid reg to select the unhidden pids in 1 ago else do 1 by 1 using entity wise

Concept of lock the system: watch video at 10:42

If we want to create a new pi die. The head of valve then need to delete the very small
surface to break the connection b/e head and below part
Middle click on head that it will also get assigned
Again will create new pid
Video week 2 session 4

Now we will check whether whole body are included as pids or not
selecting body parts on model gives pid highlighted or vice versa
Remember that the ring surface was same that breaks connection during head pid formed.
Now to include this ring with column pid then
Right click and apply and select surfaces of ring

Then middle click on ball of mouse to finalise the selection

Is used to forceful delete of any pid

this will show the surfaces that are intentionally deleted by me

And we want to restore any surface then after click on undelete then select the surface you
want then green cross symbol then middle ball button click

After doing restore its must to use topo to do proper connectivity between surfaces by drag
mouse over the region
This gives a triple con connection that is not error if 3 surfaces are connecting except no
overlap but here we can see 2 colors og 2 overlapping surfaces
We need to delete 36th pid

START WITH MESHING

After length click on body then para

5 mm is mesh length
 again give
value 5
Now again assign mesh length as before we got error then gave limit 3 to 7 then again
assign
click over the surface and mid cloick

instead of selecting 1 by 1 better to select by pid mode

click on 3rd option visible only means this time only this is meshed

When the mesh size is large for particular part and we need to make it small then spot me
not only spring but head also not having good quality of meshing
then macros also
again change values of parameter and macros as earlier

Week 3 session 1 TURBO CHARGER

Now we will learn about volumetric mesh
Will do first topo cleanup on a very raw model
select middle click to find single, double cons as we see overlapping surfaces

here
we got that crosses showing the double cons
select the surface by pid

middle click of mouse then delete that

still few pink surfaces present
hiding green color surface n we found that
 unwanted 2 pink surfaces delete them n then

to check further we have pink

surfaces
But extended surface. Select by entity and delete and again create perfect surface by
delete these surfaces
as these creating triple cons

now its easy to create here perfect surface

loop option not

working fine as we see preview of surface. See video 12 min
Select curve and middle click n we got the hot points to create so many surfaces part wise
from the lines or coons we created from hot points
perfectly created the surfaces
we can see that few red coons are there that need tio create either suface or to delete

this surface is penetrating with slant surfaces

trimming the intersect surfaces

select first surface then middle click then select 2nd surface
release(converts 1 triple coons into 2 double coons and 1 double coons into 2 single coons)
and topo(2 double coons into 1 triple coon and 2 single coons into 1double coon) are
opposite in work
Better to select coons by entity mode to create surfaces 1 by 1
Week 3 session 2
To check if everything is fine in model or not. So 1 by 1 need to check about coons
First for single coon
Another way is geometry check
got preview
now we have to check whether any single coon left over
Go to back
Will not get any single coon
Now will resolve triple coon. Middle clicks and all

isolate the surfaces next to triple coon

its not error
1 by 1 need to hide adjacent surfaces clicking on dotted lines ie cross edge
Since total 4 cross edges means 2 surfaces are overlapping

green edges surface is selected to delete. Similarly delete 2nd surface also

surfaces that make 1 n 2

volumes separate are deleted. Do same for 2 n 3

similarly for these

 this is overlapped cylindrical surfaces

to isolate it

we need cut over here as we need only

brown till here not pink
Then do middle click

but not in good manner

click multiple times over here to fill the gaps

thus by isolating pink we see a con is projected

delete it
To check need to release the cons over here to check triple con
then

topo is done
Then delete the blue triple con
 delete this also

how to delete another surface?

Need to separate it with wings
 make cuts

delete it
Now again check whether everything fine by topo
converts it into single con

To check that all cons covered or not

again geometry check for whol body and execute and will give 2 triple cons left over but
these are required
Thus done with topo cleanup
Now will volumetric meshing n for this we need to check geometry is closed means no hole
errors or extra surface or cons

by isolating 1 by 1 pid we can check n also give names to each pid

Need to close this hole

Middle click will make it closed

again make it closed

this also
 we can see holes here

For every region do the same

 this also

creating new pid

4new pids got created

similarly
name it
both must be 1 pid not separate. Select it by pid mode then apply
9 n 11 do not exist now

to delete them forcefully

Week 3 session 3 FVM AND FVA

RENAMED

DELETE DIRECTLY
 SIMILARLY

FVM:
Volumetric mesh is done after defining surface mesh

Right click and show only

target
mesh length for particular pids

Quality criteria:
 si
nce all 3 5mm things are meshed together ie 5,6,7

Similarly we have to mesh every part accordingly

hide selected items
Now we will mesh impeller set gives

hide this also

 confirm selection by click on crt
and shift will give wireframe mode
Now mesh for shaft with 1 mm

by box selection

By pid selection
 this part is not getting meshed
because the ring shares boundary with shaft and impeller fan as well

Why macros shows 1 to 2mm? because of shared boundary

That’s don’t change it otherwise it wont be meshed. Let it be 1 to 2mm
 to measure
Same thing happened here also as mesh length varry thus need to do same

since here target mesh

length is 5mm

checking macros,
because for shaft it was 1mm and near boundary mesh length varies from 1 to 5mm but
parameter is 5mm so we will not change macros to 5mm but keep parameter 5mm

select by entity mode the 2

surfaces only and middle click to mesh
But inner surfaces of previous 2 surfaces not meshed so hide and check along with
overlapping surfaces

Then select inner surfaces by entity mode and mesh

Make cuts to extend the mesh variation boundary not as edge of 2 joining surfaces
Meshing on 2D called shell and we need to convert shells into 3D ie Volume mesh

VIDEO 3 SESSION 4:

Steps to do VM: tetramesh

1. Long press on whole database

by default ansa has detected 8

volumes ie closed geometries
We have to take care of which volumes are needed means fluid will flow through that and
which are not needed. It means the volume must have some thickness
To see the preview:
 we will keep 4 volumes only and
delete others as they are material(parent geometry) ie thickness vol not flow volume

delete 1 by 1
 4 fluid volumes right click n
remesh

all 4 volumes got volumetric meshed

we can see some glitches as geometry and

geometry volume were turned on.. turn them off

hide half part by dragging

over the non required part will give cross section

WEEK 4 SESSION 1: BMW CAR

whenever we get
Such model having so many errors related yellow patches and coons, click on PID mode and
will do topo and drag to select the whole model. It will convert all single coons into double
and double to triple coons

we also can see some features are not accurate like tyre, BMW logo etc

by
clicking multiple times on so many coons over the object will give proper shape

but it will take huge time to settle this problem

Fine method does what thing? It decreases the length of mesh size like next method but 1
by 1
Thus another method is go to mesh mode
 select by dragging
whole body and change the length to 1mm and then come to macros and select whole body

then

now we can check the shapes are in correct shape.

 doing topo clean up

triple coons

Now we can use a concept of symmetricity except few features like logo. By deleting half
side then will proceed with cleanup and meshing then will reflect half side to symmetric half
other side by using symmetry option

except this logo top surface , whole body of right side got selected
 shows selection is correct

deleted and also we will create a wind tunnel surround the car
Agenda is that we need to 6 volumes then out of that only 1 volume that is inside car will
keep other 5 will be deleted and then within wind tunnel will extract that volume to do CFD
study of flow over car. We are concerned about the features outside of the car not the
features inside as flow is outside

delete them
 these are inside part

convert these 2 to 1 line

delete
 from inside delete

then deselect it
again do same and delete

Should come hollow

project single coon on it

 middle click to project

now delete but give

whole selected as small surface is attached. Need to separate it
 it became like this

now apply cuts

isolate
Try topo will check double coons are okay
Apply topo then delete

As not able to delete small side surfaces because

Extend

get back deleted surfaces only those are required by selection

apply topo
 better to watch video at 34:00

Week 4 session 2
delete
Week 5 Session 1
Surface wrap:

In this, meshing is done only on outer surfaces irrespective inner components then patching
the surfaces to avoid the holes, cracks etc

For outside flow simulation and analysis

Here 3 components and we will mesh them separately then merge them
Delete unwanted substances
Check everywhere by using view down arrow
by show only, isolate the main body of interest to delete the check particles(having size
<=mesh size)

delete them in one shot\

 first of all delete big
surfaces that are not required

delete overlapping surfaces

How to identify the overlapped surfaces—some kind of glitching
