Week - 8 - Morphing

Aim :Perform morphing for the given model and Increase the Height of the Dog houses and Ribs.

procedure :

step 1: Open the CAD geometry inside ANSA GUI and set the solver deck to NASTRAN.

step 2: Go to geometry check and check for any unjoined surfaces and surface irregularities.

step 3: Join all the surfaces using TOPO ( CONS>TOPO)

step 4: Switch to mesh model and select entities in the capture window and set the element sell lenghth 0.5(mesh> perimetres>length).

step 5: Orient the CAD model (Faces>orient>select).

step 6 : Now go to TOPO and join all free edges in model if any.

step 7: Switch to Morphing module.

step 8: Select the geomatic regions which needs to be morphed (boxes>New>ortho>geometry> orthobox).

step 9: Now go to box morphing and select the grid points and drag them to increse the hight of the geometry along sutable axis.

step 10 : Save the model .
