Design Exploration
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Morph
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.

- Morph
  Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
  - Morphing Preferences
    Define morphing preferences.
  - Morph Constraints
    Morph constraint entities restrict or prescribe the movement of nodes during morphing, with a variety of available methods and dimensional values. These constraints are valid across all available morphing approaches and can be individually activated or deactivated at any time, even in between morphs or applying shapes.
  - Free Morph
    Use the Free tool to morph mesh by moving nodes, handles, or domains, by applying shapes, or by mapping to geometry.
  - Proximity Morph
    Use the Proximity tool to morph mesh using a simple distance or perturbation value around selected nodes, faces, edges, or shapes.
  - Morph Volumes
    Morph volume entities are highly deformable six-sided prisms which surround a portion of the FE mesh, and can be used to manipulate a mesh by manipulating the shape of the morph volume.
  - Shapes
    Shapes are collections of perturbations from the initial configuration of the FE mesh before the morph.
  - Domains
    Domain entities divide the model into different domains during morphing.
  - Handles
    Handle entities control the shape of domains during morphing.
  - Symmetries
    Symmetry entities define planes of symmetry within a model so that morphs can be applied in a symmetric fashion.
  - Undo All Morphs
    Undo all morphs and return to the original state of the model.
  - DOE Studies
    Once morphing is done, you can create shapes and design variables and submit DOE studies. The DOE study tool can be used for shape and CAD parameter DOEs, and for Automation. The purpose of this tool is to provide automation files so you can manually modify them and carry out DOEs.
