1. Modifying Imported CAD Geometry with the Deformed Geometry Interface

2. Step 1: Import the CAD File
Supported Formats:
ACIS®
Catia® V5
Creo™ Parametric
IGES
Inventor®
Parasolid®
Pro/ENGINEER®
SolidWorks®
STEP
GDS/NETEX-G
ODB++

3. Step 2: Partition the Geometry
Add a geometry object to subdivide the imported CAD
Partition, to create additional volumes
One object
Three domains

4. Step 3: Add Deformed Geometry Interface and define the deformations of the domains
At one end, apply displacements of: ( 0,0,0 )
At the other: ( dLength, 0, 0 )
In the middle domain: (dLength*(Xg/1[cm]),0,0)
Use a Global Parameter called dLength to control the extension of the domains
In the central region (which is 1cm long) use the Geometry Coordinates (Xg,Yg,Zg) to define the deformation based upon the coordinates of the original CAD geometry

5. Step 4: Use a swept mesh in the domain which will be stretched
This gives us greater control over the eventual shape of the elements in the deformed domain

6. Step 5: Use the parametric solver to sweep over a range of values
