Create lightweight product combining heat exchanger and structural performances with surface lattice like gyroid (Triple Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS))
Video that shows the new functionalities of the Lattice Designer role
The CATIA Lattice Design now allows the creation of surface lattice commonly known as gyroid. Gyroid is one type among a wide range of structure made of thin walls that are grouped into the Triply Periodic Minimal Surface family. The new capability allows: New unit cell type: Gyroid, Neovius, Lidinoid, IWP (Schoen-I-graph and Wrapped Package), Fisher Koch and Diamond ; To compute a light visualization within seconds by leveraging the GPU compute capabilities (requires a CUDA compatible graphic card wih compute capability 7.5 or higher)
Rectangular (right) or Circular (left) replication. The circular replication preserves the wall thickness throughout the radial direction
With or without the definition of inlet/outlet (for heat exchanger capabilities) in order to allow the creation of two volumes that never get mixed together.A model that contains lattice bars and TPMS lattice The corresponding finite element model created with the Lattice FEM command in the SIMULIA Structural Model Creation app
