Question

Exporting formula driven Lattice

I have a part that I have set up with a gyroid lattice, but when I export it as a .IGES, only the shell of the part is exported.

 

For background:

The formula driven lattices do not create a solid geometry feature like the other lattice types, this means that it cannot be export (also means it is not included in any analysis like volume or weight).

 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a solid geometry out of a formula driven lattice or if there was a way to export it regardless.

 

I am using the student version of creo 9.0.

Creo 9 does not support the export of formula driven lattice geometry.

Article - CS303867 - Formula Driven Lattice feature is not exported when export to IGES/STEP in Creo Parametric (ptc.com)

 

Workaround option:

Create an STL file of the model with the lattice and save the file. You can then import the STL file into other applications.

Use the .3MF format which includes lattice cell definition as an export option.
