Support for Conical Beams from Additive Manufacturing in Creo Simulate
There is support in Creo Simulate for conical beams that are defined in symbolic representations in Additive Manufacturing.
User Interface Location: On the Lattice tab select Simplified. Then, create a variable density lattice with conical beams.

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo Parametric 5.0 there is support in Additive Manufacturing for the simplified representation of conical beams to be automatically transferred to Creo Simulate.
Simplified Representation of Conical Beams in Additive Manufacturing
Transferred to Creo Simulate
This enhancement expands the capabilities of the simplified lattice. The simplified lattice represents a method to quickly run design–analysis cycle, to speed up the development of light–weight parts that fulfill structural and thermal requirements.
Additional Information
Tips:
Use this simplified representation to run all the initial simulation experiments. You can switch to a full representation, later in the process
Limitations:
Analyses calculated by this method for the simplified lattice is an approximation. Run the analysis calculations on the full lattice representation to get the accurate result.
Does this replace existing functionality?
Yes. This replaces the previous simplified–representation–for–lattice functionality.
Configuration options associated with this functionality:
None
