Old to New Latticing Workflows: Blending Gyroids & TPMS Structures for Heat Exchanges

Objective:

How to transition a blending gyroids workflow from the old to new latticing blocks.

Applies to:

  • Cylindrical Volume Lattice
  • Cylindrical Cell Map

Procedure:

1. Initialise the geometry. Add two Cylinder blocks that are of the same height and perform a Boolean Subtract.

2. Creating a TPMS lattice in the old and new lattice pipelines.

3. The Ramp block is used to Fade in the gyroid. (How do I use the Ramp block?)

And that’s it! You’ve successfully applied and learned how to create a TPMS structure and blend it in with the new pipeline.
