Reverse engineer hyperelastic structure

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi

I am looking to see if it would be sensible, and feasible, to in effect reverse engineer a hyper elastic structure in an attempt to achieve a desired deformed shape.

I can't go into too much detail but I have a rubber structure whose shape I wish to achieve when its deformed. Could I in someway use a set of parameters to help determine what size and shape the initial un-deformed structure needs to be?

Is it possible to define a target shape for my deformed geometry and / or mesh as a whole?

Many thanks in advance.
Colin

Colin,

this might be possible with the Optimization module.

Cheers
