Morphing of a tube

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a shape optimization for a tube. As I want to create the necessary shapes, I'm getting across some problems. I added the file for more visibility.

1. Is there any function to smooth my mesh after morphing? The stress concentration in the 'edgy' parts of the mesh is very high.

2. Currently I'm morphing my mesh with 'scale' for peripherally located handles. I want to keep the same perimeter as the original tube for manufacturing reasons.. Is there a better way?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

     

    So you want to know if there is an option to remesh the tube after shape optimization, is that correct?

     

    You can use OSSmooth module to obtain shape and make the deck for re-analysis.
