Mesh

In the outline window, click on . The only thing we will control for this geometry's mesh is the size of the elements. Go to Mesh Control > Sizing to open up the Sizing menu. Select the entire geometry by clicking then selecting the bike crank. Now click Geometry > Apply. Also, change the size of the mesh from default to 0.1 in. (If the units are not in inches, change them by going to Units > U.S. Customary (in, lbm, lbf, F, S, V, A)). Now, generate the mesh by clicking Mesh > Generate Mesh. The final result should look something like this:

Construction Geometry

The next thing we are going to do is to set up a path where the strain gauge lies on the bike crank. In the outline window, click . Next, go to Construction Geometry > Path. This will open up the path toolbox in the details window. Creating a path in Workbech is very easy: you just have to specify the starting and ending points of your path and workbench will create it. In the details window, enter (3.3748, -0.29094, 0.375) as the starting point and (3.3748, 0.10276, 0.375) as the end point. Change the number of sampling points to 50.
