Morphing a mesh

Hello,

I would like to know if Hypermesh can perform one particular morph operation.

I have two geometries. One geometry has been meshed using tetra elements (Geometry 1). Additionally, I have the surface of a second object (Geometry 2). I would like to know if Hypermesh can surface match Geometry 1 onto Geometry 2 and appropriately morph the internal nodes/elements of Geometry 1.

The attached image illustrates the morph I am interested in.

What is the workflow for performing this morph?

Regards,

Miriam

    Miriam,

    I assume this is an STL or a medical application model,

    Unfortunately my first thought is your geometry is too complex for any morphing tool, you may be able to accomplish this by breaking your model into very small pieces,

    your best approach is to rethink your strategy , perhaps mesh the geometry 2 ?

    What you require in principle is really the map to geom panel of HyperMorph
    Location: Tools page, HyperMorph module

    The Map to Geom panel allows you to map nodes, domains, morph volume edges, or morph volume faces in your model to a surface using edge domains and handles to guide the process.

    Read HyperWorks Desktop Applications > HyperMesh > User's Guide > HyperMesh Panels > HyperMesh Panels Listed Alphabetically > HyperMorph Module > map to geom panel

    also see the tutorial HyperWorks Desktop Applications > HyperMesh > HyperMesh Tutorials > Morphing > HM-3530: Changing a Curvature Using Map to Geometry
