Hi,
Does anyone know what is the difference between different lattice types( type 1, 2 , 3 and 4) in lattice optimization by Optistruct? And how can I get their properties after optimization?
Thank you,

Thank you very much @Prakash Pagadala. It was really helpful.

@Prakash Pagadala I am using the student version of Altair and I did the lattice optimization for a beam. I ran the optimization 4 times by using different lattice types in each trial. At the end I am getting the same results for any type of lattice. It means the lattice part in the optimized beam is the same for all cases. I was wondering if you know why this is happening?
What type of elements are available in your model. Type of element will affect the lattice type.
Hi @Prakash Pagadala thank you for the reply. I used tetra elements. I changed my mesh elements to Quad I could get different lattice types in final result.
So does it mean I should use quad elements to get different lattice types?
Thanks,
Hi Soraya,
With tetra you may not get different lattice types. I prefer HEXAs over tetras.
