Perform Morphing on the automotive component using ANSA
Aim -
Perform Morphing on the automotive component using ANSA.
Objective -
To Morth the given model and discuss applications of morphing in variuos industries.
Explanation:-
What is Morphing and why it is necessary?
Morphing is performed to change the shape and design of the component without any numerical values.
Morphing consists of the adaption of a computational grid adopted for computer aided engineering (CAE). For instance, the solid or shell mesh of a structural part ready to be processed by an FEA solver, or the volume mesh complete with boundary conditions for a CFD solver, can take a new shape by just updating nodal positions. This means that the topology of the mesh (nodes count, cells count, connectivity) stays the same. Only the x,y,z coordinates of the nodes in the part of the model undergoing a shape modification are updated.
Procedure:-
1) Import the model.
The model which is to be morphed is loaded in the ANSA window.
2. Check Geometry Error
After importing the geometry the user check for the geometrical error in both the components one by one and repair the geometrical errors by auto fix.
As we can see the component have some error which has been fixed. Hand Rest component have no geometrical errors.
3. Switch to Morph Module
To morph the particular component the user switch to Morph Module and Click on the New in the Boxes Modules Button and perform the Morphing Box Creation by selecting the geometry.
Some of the location where the morphing box is created is represented below,
4. Change the shape of the Desiign
To change the shape of the above selected boxes the user utilizes the Box Morphing Tool Move and select the cordinate along with the design is to be change.
Some Change Shape of Design of Both Models
5. Deletre the Mophing Boxes
After morphiing the compoenet the user delete the morphing box because no further changes in design requirement.
#Application of Morphing in Industries:
1. Morphing is widely used in the automotive industry where the existing model has to be change in it shappe and design witohout any numrical values. Like change of design for facelifts, etc.
2. Morphing is also used in the design of the automotive vehicle where a existing model like Hatchback can be changed into Sedan or any other models easily without much more effort. It help the design engineer or the meshing engineer to save lot of time.
#Learning Outcome:
1. Use of Morphing Module
2. Different tools used to morph particular model.
#Conclusion:
The user concludes that the morphing is the very usefull model for changing the shape and design of the model, Here the user successfully morrphed two components.
