Ways to export lattice mesh as geometry after lattice optimization?
Hi all,
is there a way to export the results from a lattice optimization as a geometry so that it can be printed afterwards? I'm trying to figure out a workflow using various programs. Is it maybe possible to export a geometry via Inspire, since it offers a way to smoothen lattices and export as .stl or other format after finishing an optimization run in Inspire itself? I tried importing the Optistruct results to Inspire just now, but it just displays the 1D elements as lines and does not seem to recognize them as a geometry like I hoped it would.
Which other ways are there? I tried exporting the models to Ansys as well, but Spaceclaim only displays lines as well and not as a geometry. Abaqus seems to offer no way to convert the 1D elements to a geometry as well. Is the only way 3-matic or a custom programmed script? What about the Autodesk suite, Creo, any other?
