Week - 8 - Morphing

Aim:

        To create a MORHING of the given component by using ANSA.

Given data:

In this Morhing section we have two components. The given cad model is

• CAD model:
  • Component - Model 1
  • 
  • Hand_rest - Model 2
  • 

Steps to follow in ANSA.

• Import cad geometry.

                  Go to file > Open > Browse the location of the given CAD model > Select it click on Enter.

• Geometry cleanup.

Go to Toolbar > checks > Geometry > Visible > Execute > Check for the green tick beside geometry > close the window.

                  Execute to run the geometry cleanup. If there are any geometry errors, right click on the mouse on the highlighted errors and select auto-fix (automatically edit geometry issue) or edit manual as your wish.

Morphing:

                  Morphing is an effect which sees one shape or object transform into another in a seamless transition. There are different approaches, but the fundamental meaning of morphing remains the same.

Procedure:

STEP To alter the design of the given geometry with morphing method

STEP-1: To begin morphing, switch the modules selection to MORPH.

STEP-2: Split the morph box to adjust the handle points later.

STEP-3: To morph the geometry select the points and geo check and continue.

STEP-4: According to the CAD changes move the cursor to desired position, and middle click to confirm the changes to the CAD.

STEP-5: Right click on the box to create a local co-ordinate system to move according to the co-ordinate system as shown below.

STEP-6: Select X-axis to move the geometry in X-axis.

STEP-7: Select Y-axis to move the geometry in Y-axis.

STEP-8: Select Z-axis to move the geometry in Z-axis.

STEP-9: CLICK OK.

MORPH > BOX > NEW > SELECT > CLICK MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON.

MORPH > MOVE > SELECT THE NODE > TRAG THE NODE WITH AXIS > CLICK MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON.

Model 1:

                           BEFORE MORPHING                                                                  AFTER MORPHING

                                    BEFORE MORPHING                                                                  AFTER MORPHING

                                    BEFORE MORPHING                                                                  AFTER MORPHING

Model 2:

MODEL-2: BEFORE & AFTER MORPHING. 

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

To create morphing and learn morphing tools.

To learn new tools and knowledge of morphing.

In the end of the challenge, I learn lot of commands and shortcut key.
