SimuLattice
Open-source lattice structure simulation software for AM
Built by Guoying Dong
Overview
SimuLattice is a MATLAB based software to support the simulation-based design of lattice structure. Previous simulation models for lattice structure is either computational heavy or lack of accuracy. The proposed simulation scheme in SimuLattice has three simulation models that can be used in three design stages. It can help designers quickly and accurately get the mechanical property of lattice structures fabricated by additive manufacturing.
The design of lattice structures can be divided into three design stages. In each stage, a simulation model is proposed. Furthermore, a material model is established in SimuLattice to consider the manufacturing influence of AM. There are totally four modules in SimuLattice:
