The mesh morphing technology is applied to the retrofit design of a baseline car model in this paper. Specifically, according to the morphing scheme worked out, the geometric dimension of FE model for its body-in-white is changed to build the FE model for new car model efficiently, with its performance predicted by finite element analysis. The results indicate that with mesh morphing technology, the dependency of design on detailed CAE data and the time-consuming preparation activities for simulation can be avoided, with the lead time for car model development shortened and the development cost reduced, truly embodying the vision of ' CAE leads design'.%本文中将网格变形技术应用于某基础车型的改型设计中.根据拟定的变形方案,改变白车身有限元模型的几何尺寸,高效地建立新车型的有限元模型,并通过有限元分析对其性能进行预测.结果表明,网格变形技术避免了设计对详细CAD数据的依赖和费时的仿真准备工作,缩短了车型开发周期,降低了开发成本,真正体现了CAE引导设计的理念.
