MeshWork Morpher - Salient Feature

Morphing Features.

  • In general morphing involves creating a morph set that would link certain nodes which are the ‘control’ nodes and certain follower nodes which are the ‘deformable’ nodes.
  • Using the control zone, the deformable zone can be re-shaped with a variety of linear, parabolic, spherical, cubical and bezier blending functions.
  • All generalized transformations such as translation, rotation, projection, scaling, offset etc. can be applied to the control zone and the deformable zone will be re-shaped based on the underlying blending functions.
  • In general, the morphing methods fall into two categories:
  • Control block based: In this case, 3D volumetric regions comprising of hexa and penta elements will be used to carry out the shape change.
  • Direct node based: In this case, the nodes of the FE/CFD model themselves are defined as control nodes to carry out the shape change.
