Accelerating Design Changes and Enabling Physics-Based Deformations through Mesh Morphing

Product development can take large numbers of iterative design changes and simulations to achieve optimal performance and meet desired specifications. Traditional methods for simulating design changes and physics-based deformations involve time-consuming and computationally intensive processes, hindering efficiency and increasing development costs. To address these challenges, mesh morphing techniques have been developed to significantly reduce the time and effort required for simulating design changes and physics-based deformations in industrial applications. Mesh morphing is a powerful computational tool that allows for the deformation of complex geometric models while preserving mesh quality and connectivity. By leveraging mesh morphing algorithms, engineers and designers can efficiently modify the shape of a mesh without the need for remeshing or complex geometric parameterization. This is particularly critical when meshing requirements specify the use of hexahedral meshes. This enables rapid exploration of various design iterations and reduces the overall simulation time massively. In this paper we demonstrate the benefits of mesh morphing on various customer cases. We demonstrate its effectiveness in accelerating the simulation process for design changes and enabling physics-based deformations, leading to significant time and cost savings. Through the use of mesh morphing, engineers can easily manipulate and deform meshes to reflect desired changes in geometry. This allows for quick evaluation of design alternatives, optimization studies, and virtual testing scenarios. By integrating mesh morphing into existing simulation workflows, industries can enhance productivity, accelerate innovation, and achieve better product performance within shorter development cycles.
