Abstract
This chapter concerns the use of RBF for mesh morphing in computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications. The main paradigms, including the typical morphing strategies, are provided with a specific focus on surface mesh morphing. The effective use of the reported concepts and numerical means is concisely showcased through some test cases whose RBF is just mentioned because its exhaustive description is one of the principal objectives of the three subsequent chapters pertaining the solution of CAE applications coming from different engineering sectors.
