Session 13 Generate 2D Surface For 1D Line Geometry

The document discusses how to create surfaces in ANSYS from 1D line data. It describes two options - creating two surfaces and a mid-surface using the mid-surface option, or directly creating a mid-surface from 1D line data. It then explains how to use the new plane, sweep, and thin surface tools to generate a solid geometry from 1D lines, convert it to a surface geometry, and delete extra surfaces. The session teaches how to generate surfaces in ANSYS from 1D line inputs.

ELEATION’s ANSYS Basic to Professional

Training Program

Session 13: Create Surfaces from 1D Line


Data
Recap…..!!!!
In Session 12 : We Have Learned

 How to Import CAD file in Design Modeller


 How to Delete Specific surfaces to clean-up geometry Using Face Delete Option
 How to Generate the Mid-Surface using Mid-surface option
 How to create new surfaces from Surface Patch Option
 How to Merge different surfaces using Merge Option
 How to Create new surfaces from Weld option
 How to create new part having all the surfaces
In Session 13 : We will learn

 How to import 1D line Geometry in Design Modeller


 How to create a new plane
 How to create solid geometry using sweep option in Design Modeller
 How to convert the solid geometry to surface geometry using Thin surface option
 How to delete extra surfaces using face delete option
Option 1 : From Line data you can create two surfaces and generate the mid-surface using
Mid-Surface Option
Option 2 : You can directly Create a Mid-Surface using 1D Line Data

Diameter = 20 mm

Diameter = 24 mm

Diameter = 22 mm
New Plane

Use the New Plane tool to create a new plane.

• From Plane: new plane is based on another existing plane.


• From Face: new plane is based on a face.
• From Circle/Ellipse: new plane is based on a circular or elliptical 2D or 3D edge,
including arcs. The origin is the center of the circle or ellipse. If a circular edge is
selected, the x axis is aligned to the global x axis. If an elliptical edge is selected, the
x axis is aligned to the major axis of the ellipse. The z axis is normal to the circle or
ellipse.
• From Point and Edge: new plane is defined by a point and a 2D line or 3D edge.
The plane goes through the point and the two ends of the selected edge. These
three locations cannot be colinear.
• From Point and Normal: new plane is defined by a point and a normal direction.
• From Three Points: new plane is defined by three points. The plane origin is placed
at the first point and the x axis, by default, is in the direction from the first point to the
second point.
• From Coordinates: new plane is defined by typing in the coordinates of the origin
and normal.
• From Centroid: new plane is defined by the centroid of the selected geometry.
Sweep

Alignment

There are two options for the alignment property:

Path Tangent: Reorients the profile as it is


swept along the path to keep the profile's
orientation with respect to the path
consistent.

Global Axes: The profile's orientation


remains constant as it is swept along the
path, regardless of the path's shape.
Scaling and Twisting

Use the Scale and Turns/Pitch properties of the Sweep feature to create
helical sweeps, as illustrated.
