A SIMULIA e-Learning Resource

Created using 3DEXPERIENCE R2014x

Introduction

A full model of a piston head will be imported into the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You will mesh the part and check the quality of the mesh. You will then defeature the part and rebuild specified regions of the geometry to improve the mesh quality.

 After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

1. Import CAD files into the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
2. Quickly generate a mesh using the Structural Model Creation app.
3. Repair/defeature a component using the tools available in the Simulation Model Preparation app.

Exercise Process

The overall process that is involved in cleaning up the geometry of the piston head is summarized below:

Narrated Video

The process of cleaning up and repairing the geometry is described in this narrated video.

Now you try it!
