Issue:
Only cubic unit cells are currently supported.
Applies to:
- Periodic Lattice
- Hex prism diamond, Hex prism edge, Hex prism vertex centroid, Hex prism central axis edge, Hex prism laves phase, Tet oct vertex centroid, Oct vertex centroid
Cause:
Periodic Lattice block only supports cubic unit cells.
Solution:
Before we start, you need to enable "Show deprecated blocks" option from Settings > General (What is a deprecated block?).
1. Add in the Volume Lattice [Deprecated] block
2. Enter the following parameters
- Volume: Box (Unit Cell Box)
- Unit type: Graph Unit Cell
- Scale: same as the Box dimensions
3. Add a Graph from the Line Segments block, dragging and dropping the line segments property chip from the Volume Lattice block.
4. Add a Custom Unit Cell block and use the Graph Lattice generated in the previous step as the first input and the Bounding Box from the Volume Lattice block as the Bounding Box input.
And that's it you can now successfully use the non-cubic unit cell in the Periodic Lattice block.
