HyperMorph is a tool used to morph the shape of a finite element model in ways that are useful, logical and intuitive.  It enables rapid shape changes on the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.  During the morphing process, HyperMorph also allows for the creation of shapes which can be used for subsequent design optimization studies.

 

Overview: The Three Basic Approaches to Morphing

•The Domains and Handles Concept
•The Morph Volume Concept
•The Freehand Concept

 

The Domains and Handles Concept

•Global Domain and Global Handles
•Local Domains and Handles
•Partitioning
•Dependent Handles
•Working with Shapes
•Setting Up Optimization

 

The Morph Volume Concept

 

The Freehand Concept

 

Space Frame Model Strategies

•Creating Handles and Domains
•Matching a Mesh or Line or Surface Data
•Making Parametric Changes
•Controlling Global Morphing with Handle Placement
•Mirror Images: Using 1-Plane Symmetry
•Reducing 3D to 2D: Using Linear Symmetry
•Reducing 3D to 1D: Using Planar Symmetry

 

Shell Model Strategies

•Creating Handles and Domains
•Morphing on Local Domains
•Morphing Global Handles
•Using Constraints
•Using Biasing

 

Solid Model Strategies

•Creating Handles and Domains
•Viewing Solid Models
•Morphing on Local Domains
•Morphing Global Handles
•Using Constraints
•Using Biasing
