Week 8

objective:For the given component make the necessary morphing techniques that are available in the video.

procedure:1.first import the geometry model as iges file and then do topo for that geometry .

2.After the topo check for the geometry checks and then fix the errors by auto fix or the manual method to fix the geometry errors.

3.Then go to the morph deck in that select the box morphing and create the box morph for the selected feature and then use the local coordinate at any location of that feature and measure the height of the ortho box and go to box morphing move the feature to the respective height and then change the perimeter and the macro size of the geometry.

4.using the split option in the bpox option can split the geometry and then do the morphing according to that selected feature or geometry.

5.use the 2d morph option can do the morph on the fem of the geometry of the meshed region with the taking the curve option.

6.use the dfm as direct movement select the translate option and then define the axis distance of dx,dy,dz in which axis the selected entities can be morph.

used case of morphing in various industries.

• load bearing systems are capable of changing the shape across multiple operating conditions to improve performance or enable the new function to the vehicle body to which it is attached or comprises.
• aircraft and rotory applications the benefits are the load environment ,morphing shape targets,design challenges and material and manufacturing solutions.
• roadmap of adaptive wing technologies
• morphing wing leading edge droop nose.
• morphing drop nose demonstrator.
• helicopter blade with the piezoceramic patches enables the active twist.

space applications

• space applications of the adaptive structures includes the deployable devices,reconfigurable reflectors,atmospheric re entry vehicles,morphing the nose cone on reentry vehicles also investigated.

Marine applications

• morphing devices on the boats ,performance depends on the geometry of in water hydrodynamic devices including hydro foils,fins,control surfaces.

Road applications

• Morphing technologies is used in the road appliacations such as cars and trucks enable the no of benefits.
• shape adaptive aerodynamic surfaces can improve the air flow for better performance and stability.

Energy applications

• wind turbine blades are aerodynamic structures can potentially bebefit greatly from the morphing devices specially in improving their fatigue characterstics and operating lifetime.

Bulidings and furniture

• changing overall form of the building the majority adaptive concepts are fascades for the light,heat and air regulation.
