Description
The Lattice Connect feature now supports Delaunay triangulation.
• Lattice Connect is a powerful tool to connect and combine multiple lattices into one coherent lattice structure.
• In this release, we continue expanding the support of additional lattice types as input to the Lattice Connect feature.
Stochastic lattice with Delaunay triangulation can be connected to:
◦ A regular lattice with Triangular, Square, Hexagonal, Octagonal, Rhombic Dodecahedron, or Elongated Dodecahedron cell types
◦ Another stochastic lattice with Delaunay triangulation or Voronoi diagram with inside volume
• Mathematically, Delaunay triangulation is the dual of Voronoi diagram, and both provide the means to generate different lattice topologies (lightweight and strong).
Additionally, the algorithm was improved to better solve the connection when using empty spaces between lattices (big gaps).
Benefits
• Expanded functionality for structural use cases
• More flexibility in the creation of complex lattices
• Consistent with Creo workflows
