How to apply negative displacement of FEM simulation?

Post by Jaron1 »

Hello,

I'm simulating the deformation of a silicone mold using the FEM workbench.
Via the WarpVector post processing function it is possible to show the deformation of the mold but I would like to reverse the deformation direction if that is possible. (and then export the generated deformed mesh)
In the end I want to know what the mold shape needs to be to compensate for the calculated deformation, applying the deformation in reverse is my first attempt if that is possible.

Hopefully there is a way to do this, for my workflow this could be a very powerfull tool

It would be better to post this in the FEM subforum.

You can specify a negative warp factor and it's possible to export the deformed mesh using this option: FEM FemMesh2Mesh
