Welcome to the World of Fast Morphing!

This site is dedicated to the product RBF Morph, an integrated system for morphing and shape optimization tailored for the CFD solver ANSYS Fluent.

RBF Morph is a unique morpher that combines a very accurate control of the geometrical parameters with an extremely fast mesh deformation, fully integrated in the CFD solving process. RBF Morph is the meeting point between state-of-the-art scientific research and top-level industrial needs.

Most important industrial requirements, like process integration, mesh-independent solution, parallelism, large models and arbitrary mesh element type management, are so fulfil by RBF Morph. The final goal of RBF Morph is to perform parametric studies of component shapes and positions typical of the fluid-dynamic design like multi-configuration studies, sensitivity studies, design developments, DOE (Design Of Experiment) and shape optimization. Thanks to the ANSYS partnership this product is now available for FLUENT users as an add-on.

Wind barriers optimisation using CFD and RBF mesh morphing

A remarkable research activity about wind barriers for ground traffic protection optimization is running at the University of Ljubljana. In strict cooperation with the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", we have supported this study. RBF Morph allowed the parametrization of adjustable deflectors angles enabling a complex HPC optimization process.

We see this result as an excellent evolution of a research cooperation between the Italian and Slovenian Universities after joint efforts at PRACE Autumn School.
