Exercise: Changing the Curvature of a Bumper to a Curved Line

In this exercise, you will use the line difference approach to morph a bumper to conform to a new section line.

Step 1: Load and review the model.

Open the HyperMesh file, bumper_morphing.hm.

Step 2: Morph the bumper.

1.Open the map to geom panel by clicking Morphing > Map to Geometry from the menu bar.
2.Change the geometry selector to line difference.
3.Select the from line (Line A) and the to line (Line B) as shown in figure 2.
4.Toggle the morphing entity (2nd column) from map domains to map nodes.
5.Select nodes >> displayed.
6.Use no fixed nodes (2nd column, 2nd row).
7.Use map by line axis morphing with a 1.0 mvbias and fxbias (column 3).
