CAD/CAE Morphing

  • Reshape FE/CFD models using advanced, feature-based morphing
  • Requires no manual setup of control or deformable zones
  • Preserves assembly stack-ups and connector locations during morphing
  • Supports localized reshaping while freezing or maintaining critical cross-sections

What Does CAD/CAE Morphing Do?

The Morphing module in MeshWorks enables engineers to rapidly reshape and adapt existing FE and CFD models using feature-based deformation techniques. It eliminates the need for manual setup of morphing zones, offering intuitive region selection for localized or full-system adjustments. Recognized as a global leader in CAE morphing, MeshWorks delivers precise, scalable, and user-friendly capabilities that significantly reduce effort during design updates—ensuring continuity across complex assemblies while maintaining mesh integrity and performance accuracy.

Intuitive, Clay-Like Flexibility

Engineers can sculpt models as easily as shaping clay, enabling fast iterations with complete design freedom.

No Setup Required

Complex morphing operations can be performed instantly without predefined zones or control meshes.

High-Fidelity Transformation

Delivers morphing precision of up to 0.01 mm, ensuring exact source-to-target alignment.

Streamlined User Experience

A clean interface and minimal learning curve enable faster adoption and higher productivity.
