Week - 8 - Morphing

AIM:

To change the design of the given models with morphing method

PROCEDURE:

a)Model1:

• Import the given model
• Give CONS resolution,Goto Mesh module>perimeters>length,give length as 1

• Perform TOPO,Goto TOPO module>faces>TOPO

a)Before TOPO b)After TOPO

• Do ORIENT ,Goto TOPOmodule>faces>ORIENT

a)Before ORIENT b)After ORIENT

• Check for geometrical errors,Goto Checks>geometry

• Clear the geometrical errors

• Select the features to morph and Goto MORPH module>Boxes>New

• Split the box, Goto MORPH module>Boxes>Split

• To alter the geometry,Goto MORPH module>Boxmorphing>Move
• Select the axis to move the box accordingly

• Similarly do the same MORPHING process for remaining features

b)Model2:

• Import the given model
• Give CONS resolution
• Perform TOPO
• Check for geometrical errors

• Select the features to morph,i,e dog houses and ribs
• Goto MORPH module>Boxes>New,check Geometry and Box type as min.volume
• Split the box, Goto MORPH module>Boxes>Split
• To alter the geometry,Goto MORPH module>Boxmorphing>Move
• Select the axis to move the box accordingly
• Final results are as follows

CONCLUSION:

• Morphing is one of the ANSA features which is used to change the geometry as well as the FE.
• Morphing is done in models to make a change in geometry without disturbing the connectivity of the model.

Applications:

• Mainly used in Automotive industry to change the vehicle model ,from hatchback to sedan , also from sedan to SUV
• Morphing is used for number of different purposes in industries, To change any Length or height of the model and also many geometrical parameters without changing the connectivity.
