Week - 8 - Morphing
Aim:- Perform morphing process for given Models.
Objective:-
* Practice all the Morphing techniques that were shown in the video for Model-1.
* Perform morphing for the Model-2 and Increase the Height of the Dog houses and Ribs.
* Write a report on Morphing of both models and Discuss applications of morphing in various industries.
Procedure:-
For Model - 1
Import the model:
* First we have to import the model. ( file - open - import the model 1 )
* Done topo operation for remove all the red cons.
* Check the geometry and fix the issues.
* Then we set the orient for the entire model.
Morphing:-
* Before morphing we have to create the morphing box.
* For the mdoel 1 we have to separate the the part in which we use morphing technique.
Create Hexahedral Morphing Box:
* For creating morphing box we have to go to morphing deck - boxes - new - ortho - select the region in geometry which is to be morph.
* As we can see that in above image the morphing box is created.
Move the Morphing Box:
* After creating the morphing box we move the box so that we can morph the geometry in desired shape. ( morphing deck - box morphing - move - Mv free )
* Select the nodes of morphing box and do middle click , a warning window is open and then we have to do geo_check.
* After this we have to complete this geo check process which is show in below image.
* Now we can morph the geometry in desired shapre in all three axis as well as perticular one.
* Next we have to work on other region.
* for this we have to repeat the all above process and morph the geometry in desired shape.
* As we can see that in above image we create the morphing box.
* then we have to morph this region
* In this way we morph the model's 2nd region.
* Then we morph the other portion in geometry which is shown in video.
* Once we are done morphing, we can delete the morph boxes. ( Morphing deck - Boxes - Delete )
For model - 2
Import the model:
* First we have to import the model. ( file - open - import the model 1 )
Morphing:-
* Before morphing we have to create the morphing box.
Create Hexahedral Morphing Box:
* For creating morphing box we have to go to morphing deck - boxes - new - ortho - select the region in geometry which is to be morph.
* As we can see that the box is not align and not in proper shape.
* To fix this issue we click on minimum volume and align the newly created morphing box.
* For align we click on align and select handle as coordinate and align the box with 3 points.
* As we can see that we created the morphing box and align in proper way so that we morph the geometry in desired direction and shape.
* In this way we create the morphing box for all the dog houses and ribs.
Move the Morphing Box:
* After creating the morphing box we move the box so that we can morph the geometry in desired shape. ( morphing deck - box morphing - move - Mv free )
* For better control of movement and accuracy or morphing we can splits the morphing box according to requirement.
* Select the nodes of morphing box and do middle click , a warning window is open and then we have to do geo_check.
* After checking the geometry we have to morph the dog houses and ribs in one direction so due to this reason we use translate option insted of Mv free.
* Then we give distance by selecting two points and morph the geometry in required shape and direction.
* In this way we morph all the dog houses and ribs present in the given model according to instructions.
* Once we are done morphing, we can delete the morph boxes. ( Morphing deck - Boxes - Delete )
* Below image represent final morphed model and comparison with imported mdoel.
Applications of morphing:-
* 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 process can be done in CAD model as well as FE model.
* Morphing is used for number of different purposes in industries, to create shape change , 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).
* Implementing morphing can help in reducing the time taken to develop new designs as well as cost for the new developed model is also reduce.
* Morphing is also used in aviation industry for improve the aerodynamic shape of the model.
Learning outcome:-
* In this challenge i learned the basics of morphing. how to morph the surface in desired shape.
Conclusion:-
The givne both model is successfully morphed accroding to given instructions.
