Can you refer documentations/ tutorials/ model files for sheet metal and plastic components

Download the e-book practical aspect of finite element simulation which discusses different methods of meshing. You can as well get documentation/ tutorials/ model files for meshing.
Example
Sheet metal: uniform thickness, no rib =>automesh easily
Plastic: has ribs, non-uniform thickness
=>manual mesh with many efforts, terrible jobs!
