Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use " Morph Constraints' tool to fix some nodes when meshing (image 1), but after fixing with ' Morph Constraints' tool the nodes are still moved without staying in the original position. head (photo 2).
So how do I fix the nodes so that the nodes can't move when changing the grid size to a larger size?

    Hello, Adela.

    Is this an orphan mesh you're working on or do you have geometry topology beneath it?

    Morph constraints work best for morphing operations. If you have an orphan mesh and would like to enforce features or control mesh on edges, I suggest using Feature Edges tool. For HyperWorks 2022.3, you can find it in the Mesh ribbon > 2D Mesh groups:

    If you're meshing a surface, General 2D mesh relies on geometry topology, and will adjust to it, respecting boundaries and preserving features.

    Kinds regards,
    Paulo Libório.
