Mesh morphing has proven to be a valuable tool in parametrizing numerical models to perform shape optimization.
It allows engineers to save time in generating new configurations for analysis because it does not require geometry modification and mesh re-generation.
However, engineers still have to estimate which shape modifications could improve component performance and then apply them to the baseline model before resolution. With automatic surface sculpting, the morphing action can be guided by the physics of the model that is being analyzed, allowing engineers to automatically identify the surface zones whose nodes should be moved inwards or outwards to achieve the optimization objective, saving on the time required to complete an optimization process.
