Week - 8 - Morphing

Week - 8 - Morphing:

objectives:To morph the given cad in the cad level itself,and match with the given image.

                                        

                                                                                                 img:orginalmodel(model1)

                                         

                                                                                              img:original model(model2)

procedure:

• first open the cad model in ansa open⇀choose the folder⇀select the file⇀click"open".
• once the file has been imported check the geometry whether it has error in the surface,search for check option in search bar or go to tool⇀check⇀geometry.
• click the option in check geometry to identify the type of error so check all the boxes in the check option and click"excetute"
• once the error has been identified try to remove the error in the check manager itself by click the error by ctrl+A ,and right click and choose fix option to fix the error ,some error cannot be fixed that we should be fixed manually.
• use the tools from the topo to remove the error in the geometry toolslike,HOT POINTS:insert,delete/CONS:paste,release/FACES:cut,delete,new,datch,extend ,intersect,and cut.
• we will be using the obove commans which will be mostly used to cleanup the geometry,
• once geometry if good then go to the morph module and select the ortho option from morph module⇀new⇀boxes⇀select FE entittes⇀select the area⇀middle click on mouse button,now the area have handle we can change the area by controling with the handles.
• now go to move option moprh module⇀move⇀select the handle⇀and u can control the shape of the model.

advantage of morphing:

Morphing techniques provide an exciting new possibility for the analysis of the biomechanical role of shape, independently or interaction with loading and material properties.

application:

• It is very widely used in aircraft structure ,allows for active shape change under different flight conditions ,which can provide additional aerodynamic benefits to the overall performance.

result:

• The given cad models is morphed as per the image.

learning outcomes:

• learned how to morph a component
• learned how to use the box cammand to create handles 
• learned how to split the given boxes to approximately shape the given component.
