In this tutorial, you will increase the radius of the spring coil.
This exercise uses the spring.hm file, which can be found in the
hm.zip file. Copy the file(s) from this directory to your
working directory. Figure 1.
Load the Model File
In this step you will load the model file,
spring.hm.
Open the model file, spring.hm.
Change the Coil Radius
In this step you will change the coil radius.
Click the Morphing menu and pick Create > Domains.
Switch domain type to 2D domains.
Verify that the elements toggle is set to all
elements.
Verify that only the partition 2D domains option is
active.
Click create.
Click the Morphing menu and pick
Morph. Go to the alter
dimensions subpanel if not already there.
Change the morphing method to radius.
Change the center calculation to by
axis.
Change the axis to the z-axis.
Figure 2.
For domains (under edge and 2D)
select the 2D domain and the two edge domains.
For the base node for the z-axis select the node as
shown in the previous image.
Keep the default settings for the remaining options.
