Week - 8 - Morphing

AIM- Use of Morphing operation to change the shape of 3D model to see how the model will look like.

Procedure-

• Loaded the practice model from stored location.
• 
• Doing topo operation.
• 
• Checking and clearing the geometry errors.
• 
• 
• Measuring the height at various sections.
• 
• For morphing operation first selecting the geometry by box selection as follows.
• 
• Morphing the geometry by using free free move option. For that selecting the nodes that needs to move. By right clicking we can get the local coordinates or we can move it as per global cordinates.
• 
• 
• 
• 
• Following the same steps at other sections
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• Next for given test model the aim is to increase the height of dog house and ribs using the same technique mention above,

Applications of Morphing-

• Design change of a car from a hatch back to sedan can be easily done using morphing,
• ships hull can be design in various shapes and tested easily using morphing.
• for various automobile and industrial applications morphing can be used such intake and exhaust manifold, varying the shape of any particular part to check for strength requirements etc,
