Morphing on a Sheet metal Component

AIM:

The main objective of this challenge is to make some morphing changes on the given sheet metal component.

Morphing:

Morphing is an advanced CAE technique, which is used to change the shape of the mechanical parts or assemblies without the need for a CAD system. The function of the Morphing menu can be used to efficiently re-shape both FE and geometry-based models.

Procedure:

• Import the ANSA file.
• Perform TOPO on the given sheet metal model.
• Check geometry for the given model.
• Perform the Morphing technique on the given model.

Import:

Open the latest version of ANSA. Import the cad geometry files through file > open or Ctrl + O.

Given Model:

Before TOPO;

After TOPO;

Morphing in ANSA:

• Change TOPO into Morph on the Module bar.

• Use the new function in the Boxes Module.
• Select the Geometry and the type of box.

• Green colour Box is created over the selection area.

• Use the move option in the Box morphing tab.
• Select the nodes, then only we can reshape the object.

• Use split option to get very small deviation/Re-shape in the CAD model.

CONCLUSION:

The Given sheet metal model has been successfully Re-shaped by using the Morphing Technique in ANSA software.

Learning Outcome:

• Understand a lot about the Morphing and its tools.
