Study of Morphing techniques using ANSA

Aim : To practice all the morphing technique and to write a report on morphing and its uses in various industries.

Morphing is a change in design or shape of any component without using any numerical inputs for the betterment of the results.

So it usually used in automotive industries to save time, development cost etc., as if any minor problem occurs in the analysis time normally we send the model to the design team to rebuild the model after rebuilding again we need to mesh but morphing can be used in this situations to change the shape of the model according to the requirement in the FE model itself. One such example is converting the hatchbacks to sedan and vice versa.

Procedure :

1. Importing the model
2. First we need to create the boxes type using the morph > new > ortho > selecting the entities. Then using move options by selecting the grids we can do the free hand movement as shown in the below images.

1. We can split the boxes how much numbers we want using split option for better morphing.

Learning outcomes :

1. Learnt a basics of morphing.
2. Learnt basic tools uses in morphing.

Conclusion :

Morphing is done on the component and learnt all the techniques of doing morphing.
