Create, Split and Adapt Morph Volumes

Engineering Solutions offers a large variety of methods to define morph volumes. One of the simplest ways is to select the elements in the graphical area and click create from the Morph Volume panel.

Morph volumes can be split at a certain location by selecting an edge of the morph volume and then selecting a split location on this edge. Open this panel by clicking Morphing > Morph Volume.

For complex grids it might be necessary to adapt the morph volumes to the shape of the grid. By setting the morph volumes to “inactive”, the handles can be moved without morphing the underlying grid. After adapting the morph volumes, make sure to set the switch back to “active” to enable the mesh morphing. Open this panel by clicking Morphing > Morph Options.
