RBF Morph Structures is an ACT extension of RBF Morph that enables shape optimization studies entirely within ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS Workbench by morphing an existing mesh
Optimize structures by morphing existing, trusted meshes
An ACT extension powered by RBF Morph’s high-performance numerical engine, with full support for ANSYS Mechanical.
This new add-on has been developed using ANSYS’s ACT customization platform. Fully embedded within ANSYS Workbench, it enables users to drive optimizations using the same Workbench parameters and scoping tools commonly used in daily FEA analysis workflows.
- fully embedded within ANSYS Mechanical GUI, same “look” & “feel” and interaction logic
- fast RBF library with CUDA and OpenMP parallel acceleration
- hierarchical set-up to guarantee maximum flexibility
- parameters can be added as usual, checking, with a “P” the desired field
- optimal geometry can be transferred back to CAD
- plenty of basic shape modifications (translation, rotation, scaling, surface offset, curve offset, surface target, curve target)
- complex shape modifications can be created using a hierarchical approach to create non linear chains of multiple modifications
- optimization can be driven by standard software tools, including DesignXplorer and OptiSLang
- automatic shape sculpting driven by FEA solution results (Biological Growth Method)
