CAD/CAE Morphing

What Does CAD/CAE Morphing Do?

The Morphing module in MeshWorks enables engineers to rapidly reshape and adapt existing FE and CFD models using feature-based deformation techniques. It eliminates the need for manual setup of morphing zones, offering intuitive region selection for localized or full-system adjustments. Recognized as a global leader in CAE morphing, MeshWorks delivers precise, scalable, and user-friendly capabilities that significantly reduce effort during design updates—ensuring continuity across complex assemblies while maintaining mesh integrity and performance accuracy.

MeshWorks Uniqueness

MeshWorks CAD/CAE Morphing equips engineers with a powerful capability to reshape full-system models or localized regions with high precision and speed. Its feature-based morphing engine enables direct selection and deformation of regions without predefined zones, while preserving critical features and inter-component relationships. Automatic remeshing and connector regeneration ensure models remain simulation-ready throughout the process. With AI/ML-enhanced precision and an intuitive workflow, the Morphing module is ideal for quick geometry changes, performance tuning, or scan-to-simulation workflows.
