Generating Lattices

Generating Rectangular Lattices

Lattice Struts and Lattice Geometry let you create rectangular lattices with a constant step size in all three directions. The directions are mostly perpendicular to each other but that is not always the case.

  1. In the tree, select the Lattice Area.x feature.
  2. In the Visualization model list, select the visualization type.
    The visualization of the lattice struts is previewed according to the selected visualization mode.
  3. 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.
  4. From the Generate Lattices section of the action bar, click Lattice Geometry .
    The part is visible and the lattice struts are highlighted.
  5. In the tree, select Lattice Strut Set.x feature.
  6. Optional: From the Tools section of action bar, click Clipping Tool to see the lattices created inside a closed area.
