Modifying Lattice Cell Standards

You can modify the existing lattice cell standards.

Before you begin: You must have Administrator rights to access and modify lattice cell standards.
  1. Select Me > Preferences > Standards.
  2. In the Category list, select LatticeDesign.
  3. In the File list, select a Lattice cell type.xml.
    The selected cell is loaded in the left-hand side of the Standards dialog box.
  4. Click the lattice cell node.
    The cell image is displayed.
  5. Select the Units node and in the Units box, specify the new unit.

    By default, the unit is mm.

  6. Select the Values node and specify the following values:
    1. Under Parameters, specify the required values in the Length and Radius boxes.
    2. Under Own Axis, specify the coordinates for the four vectors.

      The vectors must be consistent in all direction to achieve the proper replication of the cells in all directions. To achieve this, each vector must be connected to the centers of all its neighboring cells.

  7. Click OK.
    A message displays the location where the modified standards file is saved.
