Description
Two new auxetic cell shapes have been added to the Lattice feature in Creo.
• Auxetic uniform lattice can be controlled by the X angle parameter.
 |  |
• Auxetic non-uniform lattice can be controlled by the X angle and Y angle parameters.
 |  |
The auxetic cells enable you to create a beam-based lattice to produce structures with negative Poisson’s ratio.

Benefits
• Create high energy absorption and fracture resistance meta-materials with properties that do not exist in nature. These can be useful in applications like body armor and medical devices.
• Create a beam-based lattice to produce structures with a negative Poisson’s ratio.
• These capabilities are integrated inside Creo, without need to leave the Creo environment, and are fully associative.
