[CATIA] Lattice Designer

Functional Value

1.Better control of the desired infill ratio and patterning with more predefined or user-defined unit cell types and with control of the unit cell orientation.

2.A wider range of achievable lattice design configurations with the ability to apply lattice specifications on local regions of the model, compatible with design exploration apps.

3.More accurate assessment of the product mechanical performances with advanced controls on the 1D finite element lattice modeling definition (element type and size).(*Simulation capabilities not included in the Lattice Designer role)

4.Better management of the produced data (conceptual and detailed geometries) for downstream usage.
