Topology Optimization with Lattice Structure

Abbas_20630

Hi All,

 

I am trying Topology Optimization with lattice structure using optistruct. Though, I did some modeling but still I didn't find a good literature about defining lattice parameters inside optistruct and convert the optimized design into a CAD file for Additive Manufacturing.  Help in this regard will highly be appreciated, please. Thanks in advance.

There are some tutorials in the Help of OptiStruct and also take a look at the OptiStruct documentation for lattice parameters. It should be all there.

 

Converting a lattice structure to CAD/STL is not so trivial, and you will need some 3rd party software, such as Materialise (3-matic or Magics, not quite sure).

You may find the Lattice Structure Optimization demonstration I made helpful (some lattice parameters are explained):

Thank you very much. I am going to watch it /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
