-
Select the Element to Deform, on which the morphing is applied.
-
To specify a Symmetry Plane, either select one or create one
from the context menu.
The symmetry plane does not necessarily refer to the part geometry itself.
-
To freeze areas, expand the section.
Frozen Areas is not available for mesh morphing
-
Either select the boundaries of frozen areas, or create one from the context menu.
-
Select the type of the frozen area.
-
Specify the continuity on the frozen area (Tangent or point).
-
Specify a transition zone around the frozen area, where vectors are removed to
avoid too strong variations in the deformation.
The width of the transition zone is visualized by a sphere. Edit the radius value
of the sphere as required.
- Optional:
Select Reverse Orientation to freeze the other side of the
boundary.
-
To specify rigid holes, expand the section.
Rigid Holes is not available for mesh morphing
The geometry of rigid holes remains the same after morphing, with respect to a given
direction. For example, if the rigid hole is a circle in the Z-Axis direction, it
remains a circle in the Z-Axis direction after the morphing.
During morphing, the rigid holes are first filled, then cut again on the morphed
surfaces.
-
Either select the boundaries of the rigid holes, or create one from the context menu.
- Optional:
Select the direction of the rigid holes, or create one from the context menu.
By default, the direction is the normal of the mean plane of the hole.
- Optional:
Select a surface of fill the hole, or create one from the context menu.
By default, the hole is closed by a standard fill.
