Regarding Shape Optimization?

Altair Forum User

Hello Friends,

 

I have curve type geometry, I have define Shell outside the solid. Now I want to do Shape Optimization. while using Morph>Domain and Interactive I can Change geometry but  my Solid mesh also going to extrude. How can I Change my Geometry with not Extrusion of mesh but generate same size of Hexa mesh. Or please give me any solid geometry tutorial Example. Mainly I want to Change my arc radius. Is there any method where I just can Change radius or Distance?

 

Thank you

could you share snapshot of region where you want changes?

As you can see I Need  to apply procedure as you can see in figure 2.

I think it is possible.May be you need to use Morph constraints at some location to avoid movement at particular location.Give a try with domains & handle concept.I will share some tutorial file which may help you in your case.

Okay.. Thanks.. I came to know I should use Local Domain and handle Concept. As you can see from the figure the radius 6.75 from along the Point which I want to alter and minimize it to 6.25 and 6.0. Now this should be apply in whole circular area. means all nodes which come in the path of that circular section.

 

Should I Change in my Shell Element or direcly in solid Element?

Please let me know How can I reduce the radius or distance.

 

Thank you.

From images it is difficult to understand.But by selecting edge domain you can alter arc radius.you can delete some of the unnecessary domains & handles.

If possible share particular location hm file where you want to make changes.
