ANSA Morphing
ANSA morphing tool has the following advantages:
- It provides flexible parameterization of your CFD model
- It is highly controllable allowing the user to perform the exact modifications that are required
- It allows scaling and history tracking of morphing actions
- It is applicable to surface & volume mesh and geometry
- It employs fast morphing algorithms that can be used efficiently and robustly on large CFD models
- It is integrated in the same environment so that it can be used in conjunction with the powerful
ANSA functionality for geometry handling and surface and volume meshing
- Morphing can be performed interactively or in pure batch mode, also coupled with optimizer
software
- It can be used with direct interfaces with all major CFD codes, like Fluent, Star CCM+, and
OpenFOAM among others

Conclusions
ANSA covers all the CFD pre-processing needs in a single environment, from CAD import, to
advanced model management , geometry cleanup and preparation, automated surface and volume
meshing and finally morphing and optimization.
It offers to the user the choice between high quality mesh generation on the geometry level
and also quick meshing solutions like surface wrapping, depending on the needs and resources of
the project.
ANSA provides high quality meshes for all CFD solvers, offering the possibility to make comparisons
or use several codes depending on your needs and is also one common pre-processor platform for
all other CAE disciplines, facilitating data exchange between different departments.
ETA provides powerful automated post-processing for CFD and integrates with ANSA as a
complete pre and post-processing solution for industrial applications.
