Week - 8 - Morphing

PROJECT / CHALLENGE WEEK 8– “Morphing” Using ANSA

Report Submitted by YASHVANTH KUMAR S K

AIM-

1. To alter the design of the given geometry with morphing method

1. Practice all the Morphing techniques that were shown in the video for Model-1.
2. Perform morphing for the Model-2 and Increase the Height of the Dog houses and Ribs.
3. application of morphing technique in various industries

Tools Used-

Morphing, New,. Boxes, Ortho, Move.

Procedure:

Model - 1

1. Firstly, import the component into the ANSA window & clean up the geometry of the model

1. To begin morphing, switch the modules selection to MORPH.
2. Take out the component which we wanted to extend the surface as shown in the below image and create the morping boxes using command Boxes/ New/ Ortho.

1. Select the move command and select the nodes which we wanted to extend the surface and provide the parameter / value .

1. Repeate the above Procedure / steps to perform Morping in other surcaes

Model 2- Perform morphing for the Model-2 and Increase the Height of the Dog houses and Ribs

1. Firstly, import the component into the ANSA window & clean up the geometry of the model
2. To begin morphing, switch the modules selection to MORPH.
3. Take out the component which we wanted to extend the surface as shown in the below image and create the morping boxes using command Boxes/ New/ Ortho/Align the box. With two nodes/ element.

1. Select the move command and select the nodes which we wanted to extend the surface and provide the parameter / value .

1. Repeate the above Procedure / steps to perform Morping in other surcaes

Conclusion : Morphing is carried out on the given models to change the CAD geometry without disturbing the connectivity of the model.

Morphing in Industries and its application.

Morphing is the adjustment of shape and size of the component to the new size and shape without disturbing the connectivity and the boundary conditions, the topology of the CAD stays same only the coordinates of the nodes change.

Morphing is used for number of different purposes in industries, to create shape parameters (to change length, thickness), To move on to a new know shape (update the design), To move onto the shape predicted by the CAE solution (to optimize the shape) (Design News ,2020).

Implementing morphing can help in reducing the time taken to develop new designs, with morphing one may not require going back to CAD designer to update the geometry, and the mesh morphing the CAE model can be updated in the background by keeping all the BC’s and loading cases, the updated nodal position require less computational time during solving.

Design optimization is used to create a new model with the existing model like Suzuki Swift to Swift Dzire, TATA Indica to Indigo, Etios liva to Etios Etc
