Generating Lattices

Generating Cylindrical Lattices

Lattice Struts and Lattice Geometry let you create cylindrical lattices as a connected pattern along two noncollinear directions.

  1. Under Lattice Type, select Cylindrical .
  2. Under Axis Options, select the axis.
  3. In the Neutral radius and Minimum bar length boxes, specify the required values.
  4. Click OK.
    A Lattice Strut Set.x is added to the tree. It contains all the lattice strut features related to the lattice areas from a same body and a Tessellate.x feature.The tessellation feature under the lattice strut set contains the polyhedral result of the body.
  5. In the tree, select the Lattice Area.x feature.
  6. In the Visualization model list, select the visualization type.
    The visualization of the lattice struts is previewed according to the selected visualization mode.
  7. Click Lattice Geometry .
  8. In the tree, select Lattice Strut Set.x feature.
  9. Under Advanced Options, specify the required values for Decimation sag and Smoothing Value.
  10. Optional: From the Tools section of action bar, click Clipping Tool to see the lattices created inside a closed area.
