Morphing a line body

Vassilis

Hi everybody!

I have recently started using HyperMesh. The reason for that is the perfect morphing tools that HM provides.

Specifically what I want to achieve is to morph a line body that I have imported. The way of doing things as I found out is the following:

import the line body, mesh with line elements, declare handles by selecting specific nodes, morph accordingly.

All I'm left with is a so-called shape, which is morphed the way I wanted it and my original geometry. I can export that as a model (in .cdb format for Ansys) which is going to contain just nodes.

How can I the "deformed"/morphed shape? As in export back the line body in .iges format?

 

Thanks a lot!

When you export the mesh you can assign the element type. ET type(sensor) and export the cdb file.

You will have element and nodes data in cdb which you can import in Ansys.

This is the easiest way.

 

There are ways where you can go to Tools-->HyperMorph-->morph-->morph surfaces and see if you get updated surfaces for cad. OR go to Geom-->Surfaces-->FE to surf and then create surfs from elements. But this is tricky and might become complex according to the geometry.

 

As i mentioned above, seems you have already morphed. All you need is assign et type for element and you are all set to export cdb.
