Deform 3d Tutorial [top]

Export your CAD models from software like SolidWorks, Inventor, or NX using neutral formats. STL and OBJ work well for discrete mesh representations, while STEP and IGES are preferred for precise boundary representations.

Used for facial animation and complex shape morphing. Create multiple target shapes and blend between them by adjusting weights in the Shape Editor.

The solver takes the pre-processed data and calculates the deformation, stress distributions, thermal changes, and material flow over discrete time increments. Post-Processing deform 3d tutorial

Where you analyze visual data such as stress, strain, temperature, die wear, and material defects. 2. Step 1: Pre-Processing and Geometry Import

Correctly position tools relative to the workpiece. Export your CAD models from software like SolidWorks,

After completing all pre-processing steps:

Load your database and click . You can monitor the progress bar, step counts, and convergence errors in real-time. 7. Step 6: Post-Processing and Analyzing Results Create multiple target shapes and blend between them

To add a material and texture to the deformed cube:

If your part is perfectly symmetrical (e.g., axisymmetric or half-symmetrical), simulate only a
