Alignment of entities before morphing

Hi,

 

I am trying to morph a mesh onto a surface using 'morph to geometry' command. Before morphing, it is important to align the mesh and geometry correctly. For this I used 'Tool>position' command. But I had to use this command several times to align the to entities correctly. Since I have to do a lot of morphing on different entities, I was wondering if there is any automatic/semi automatic way to align them appropriately before morphing? Or is there a script based method to input a 4x4 transformation matrix into Hypermesh for aligning two entities?

 

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Harish

    Hi Nguyen,

     

    Sorry for not posting the pictures. As an example, I have to morph the mesh (in pink) onto the surface (in blue). So the first step here is aligning both of them. I wanted to know if there are better methods to align other than 'position command'? Or if there is a script based method where I can input a transformation matrix to align these two entities?

    'position' is a powerful command. Just define two local syst and align them. That's all you have to do. Simple enough, right?

    Hi Nguyen,

     

    Unfortunately I cannot share the model here. Could you please let me know the above procedure to make this to work?

     

    Thank you.
