MORPHING

This function allows the user to modify the part mesh locally by morphing the boundary line of the part. Figure 6.1.33 shows the dialog window of the MORPHING function.

Click the MORPHING BOUNDARY button, and the boundary of the Die will be highlighted.
The program will prompt the user to select two points on the part boundary to define the morphing region. Figure 6.1.34 shows the selected region on the part boundary.

After two points are selected, a dialog window will be displayed as in Figure 6.1.35. There are three options in this window to allow the user to morph and smooth the boundary line. Figure 6.1.36 shows the smoothed boundary.

Click FILL BOUNDARY to fill in the mesh between the original boundary and the smoothed boundary. The result is shown in Figure 6.1.36.

UNDO will remove the mesh from the gap region, allow the user to go back to the original boundary and put the newly created part in IGS_SMH. PART NAME enables the user to name the part; it will be automatically assigned to Tool.
