Mesh at Midsurface techniques ??

User: "Altair Forum User"

hi all...

 

when it becomes impossible to extracting midsurface using 'Auto Mid-surface' or 'Surface-pair' options for a complicated varying thickness plastic component 

, what is the best way to get a mesh at middle of the section ??? 

 

i have been extracting lines and creating midlines and meshing with 2D manual mesh, which is laborious process indeed... is there any other option to achieve midsurfaces ???? 

 

 

thanks in advance... image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    hi

    i think hm12 improved midsurface function a lot

    so if your component is extremely complex, it's minority so try to create midsurface manually ( make mid line, using ruled, drag,..., or create nodes and nodes and move them 

    litle by litle...)

     

    have a good job

    When mid-surface function of HW can not help, you have to create that manually.

    Surface pair means it's manually midsurface?

    The surface pair can be found in geom>midsurface>final edit tools>surface pairs. The mid surface is created by manually picking a pair of surfaces. There is also some additional functionality, see the attached image (from HM help):
