Description
A new lattice command to connect two or more separate lattices has been added to 11. The result is a continuous lattice structure
Before
After
Consider the following for the reference lattices:
Input lattices should be simplified beam lattices.
Input lattices can be of the same or different cell types, different cell sizes, or different cell orientations.
In this first implementation most regular beam lattices and stochastic Voronoi are supported. Extended support for more lattice types and use cases will be added in next releases.
Benefits
More flexibility to create complex lattices
Straightforward workflow for creating continuous lattice structure
Supported inside the same familiar Lattice user interface
Additional Information
Tips:
None.
Limitations:
Input should be lattices with Simplified representation
Intended to work with Voronoi - Inside Volume lattice types
These lattice types cannot be connected:
Stochastic lattices with beams on bounding surfaces
Stochastic lattices with Delaunay triangulation
Stochastic lattices with any density variation
Auxetic lattices
Lattices with full geometry representation
Lattices with quasi-radial or herringbone cell propagation type
Does this replace existing functionality?
No.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:
None.
