[CATIA] Lattice Designer

Functional Value

Natural shape is now available in the CATIA Lattice Designer role and enables the creation of basic geometries as input of the lattice design process.

The design workflow is enhanced with a new assistant which guides the user, from the definition of the regions to infill with lattice, to the creation of the conceptual and detailed lattice geometries.

The creation of the finite element model is now fully automated and realized in one step: the plain region of the design is meshed with 3D tetrahedron elements, the lattice areas are meshed with 1D beam elements and assigned with the corresponding beam section and profiles, and the free nodes of the lattice meshes are tied to the face of the 3D elements.
