Morphing and writing Macro for the side body component using Hypermesh.

Aim: To Morph the given side body component to the desired shape shown in the images below and write a Macro for the same.

Given Reference images:

Procedure:

• Open the side body component .hm file in hypermesh.

• Now go to tool-hypermorph
• Now click on domains-create-2D domains-all elements-create-return

• Now select morph volumes-create-select the displayed elements-create

• Now to split the volume select morph volumes-split/combine-split mvols-enter the number of splits required-select a line-split

• Now go to morph-move handles-select the handle nodes on display-move the nodes in desired direction

Results:

• By moving handles in different directions, we get the desired shape for the give side body component

• Writing Macro for the side body component:

1. Go to this pc-documents-open the command.tcl file using notepad-copy the part related to the side body-save as .tcl file
2. We can run this file by clicking the File-Run-TCL/TK file

Conclusion:

Thus, the given side body component is morphed to the given desired shape and created a macro for the same successfully.

• We have learned how to morph and modify the component
• We have learned how to create macro for the same component
