COURSE AMORPH 101: BASIC ANSA FOR MORPHING & OPTIMIZATION

Prerequisites:

Attendees must have a basic knowledge of Finite Elements. No prior Preprocessing experience needed.

Following are the primary topics covered in the ANSA Morphing & Optimization training:

1. Basic concept and entities

2. Box morphing

   a. Defining and modifying morph boxes
   b. Free movement morphing -mv free, slide
   c. Controlled morphing- translate, extend, offset
   d. Cylindrical box morphing
   e. 2D box morphing

3. Morphing with constrained (nested) elements

4. Direct morphing

   a. 4 side curve fit

   b. Multi curve fit
   c. Local depressions, beads

5. Parametric morphing

   a. Defining parameters

   b. Concept of ANSA morphing with optimizer in batch mode

6. Optimization task

   a. Setting design variables and linking morph parameters

   b. Running the optimization task
