Week - 8 - Morphing

AIM:

To Practise the morphing techniques

CASE 1:

Practice all the Morphing techniques that were shown in the video for Model-1.

PROCEDURE:

Import:

• The given file is imported using open>File location>File

• Since the model once imported is having connectivity issues, the topo option is used to correct these.
• After topo action is performed, Morph voliume are created using new option under morph panel.

• Entities to be morphed are selceted and a new morph box is created.
• Entities to be morphed are selceted and a new morph box is created.
• Morph boxes are created wherever the geometry is to be altered and appropriate movements are made and the model is morphed
• Morph boxes are created wherever the geometry is to be altered and appropriate movements are made and the model is morphed

• After the morphing is finished, the created morph boxes are deleted using the delete option under morph panel.
• Above images shows various locations where morphing is performed.

Above figure shows how the model is morphed from the original model.

Case 2:

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

IMPORT:

The given file is imported using open>File location>File

MORPH BOX & MOVE:

• After importing, Dog houses and ribs to be morphed are selected and Morph boxes are created.
• After boxes are created, Move option is used and moved in appropriate direction to increase the height of the ribs and dog houses.

• Above image shows how the dog houses and ribs are morphed to increase the height.

CONCLUSION:

• Hence the given arm rest model is morphed to increase the height of the ribs and dog houses by creating Morph boxes and moving the same.

Applications Of Morphing in Industries

1. Aviation

One industry that benefits the most from morphing is aviation industry. The rocket used for defence as well as for the aircraft modification, this tevhnique is found to be useful one. By application, the part that goes through major changes are its fuselage and wings. Through this different aircraft are made depending on its application and variant.

2. Automobile

Common application of morphing invloves tranforming the type of a car. Maruti Suzuki was a sedan, but its tail was morphed and made a hatchback for its use in higgh traffic condition. The same stand for Honda Amaze, where the actual and a bigger Honda City is transformed to its smaller version. The same is done for increasing the size of the tail or making the sedan to SUVs or SUVs to TUVs.

From the above figure, a sedan is transfromed to SUV, while in the right, the trunk is increased,a long with its feature.

One of the part that has its application is in Floor Panel
