Week 8
Shape optimization for industrial applications is now extensively used in the industry. Manufactures in different industries are gradually adopting optimization strategies and shape optimization in particular in their product development cycles. It is to develop more user friendly products to meet the growing requirements and the harder international competition. Shape optimization is also of importance in future product development.
The optimizations were performed using Ansa primarily based on using the features in MORPH.
Objective:-
To perform the different morphing techniques we have in ANSA using various morphing command available. The functions of the Morphing can be used to efficiently re-shape both FE and/or Geometry based models.
Tools used:-
- Boxes – new
- Boxes – split
- Boxes – delete
- Box morphing – move
Procedure followed:-
Import the .iges file, and check for errors. The primary error we got after importing the file is all the single cons.
Performing topo command to clear all the single cons.
After topology cleanup geometry check is done for checking the geometry.
Boxes are prepared using New boxes command for morphing.
Boxes – New – ortho – Geometry.
After creating various boxes now we will be playing with the commands for morphing.
Box morphing – Move…..
Playing with split option,
The various uses of morphing can be found out in the field of:-
- Marines
- Aero mechanics
- Automobile design
- Construction sites,etc.
Conclusion:-
Learnt basic interface for morphing.
Utilized many commands available with us for morphing a component.
Morphing is practiced in the given component and the final component after the practice is attached below.
