Use the Free tool to morph mesh by moving nodes,
faces, edges, and shapes or by mapping to geometry.
From the Morph ribbon, click the Free tool.
Figure 1.
Optional: On the guide bar, click to define morphing options.
Select the node(s), face(s), edge(s), or shape(s) to move.
By default, the Free tool automatically
determines and selects anchor nodes and morph area elements based on the shape
of the model connected to the moving nodes. Both are fully recalculated after
each moving entity is either appended or deselected to allow for faster
consecutive morphs with less manual selection, and more intuitive local
morphing. This feature is enabled by default and can be turned off by
deselecting the Automatic checkbox.
Morph the mesh in the following ways:
When selecting nodes, faces, or edges: Move entities freely using the
Move tool (see manipulator options below).
The position of the Move tool is set at the
center of the selected entities. Selecting new entities updates the
position of the Move tool. Double-click the
Move tool to reposition it
manually.
The position of the normal offset arrow is set at the center of the
selected entities. Click anywhere on the selected entities to
reposition the offset arrow to that location.
When selecting shapes: Move entities freely along the selected shape
using the shape magnitude arrow. The magnitude is in the form of a
multiplying factor with respect to the selected shape.
The position of the shape magnitude arrow is set at the center of
the selected shape. Click anywhere on the selected shape to
reposition the offset arrow to that location
Activate the Targets selector and select target
geometry or mesh to map to, then use the microdialog
to execute the morph and adjust available mapping options.
Deselect
targets to move nodes freely again.
Optional: Manually select anchor nodes and elements that make up the morph area by
activating the corresponding selector on the guide bar
then making your selection.
