analysis is one of design engine's tools to provide guidance on cell size adaptivity docid\ upbqxwwljaafbsctezwed for your lattice design by analyzing a generated strut lattice which cell size adaptivity guidance tool to use analysis docid\ xtn8td3dzr4g7acdr8 3b and thickness docid tcpiwy80 ss1hxvrjwxq with adaptivity docid\ brvmow6lohbp06yia5n0k are tools to review your lattice or your geometry to provide feedback and advise on cell size adaptivity each option looks at the design differently, so it is often advantageous to look at both options, as one may work better for your geometry there are cell size adaptivity docid\ upbqxwwljaafbsctezwed strut lattice >> analysis analysis thickness >> adaptivity adaptivity to apply the guideance results to your design, refer to the cell size adaptivity docid\ upbqxwwljaafbsctezwed feature as a general guideline, the analysis analysis option tends to work well for more organic shapes , while thickness & adaptivity adaptivity tends to work well for more orthogonal shapes with parallel surfaces organic shape analysis analysis thickness & adaptivity adaptivity orthogonal shape with parallel surfaces analysis analysis thickness & adaptivity adaptivity analysis the analysis tool provides an adaptivity analysis of a strut lattice to provide feedback on the cell size(s) used hovering over the analysis points quickly provides suggested cell sizes analysis workflow video text start with a strut lattice enter unit cell parameters click generate select analysis select the strut lattice click generate click adaptivity analysis to view hover over analysis points to view suggested cell size how analysis works how analysis works analysis looks at the tetrahedral mesh (the base structure for the lattice) and compares it to the surface of the design space design space (input mesh/stl file) areas that may not conform well with the current cell size will be flagged what analysis results show the analysis provides points across problematic areas of the part, ranging in color from light light to dark blue dark blue each point suggests a cell size that is appropriate for the area light blue light blue indicates smaller cell sizes, ranging to dark blue dark blue for larger recommended cell sizes if no points are revealed in the analysis result, then no problematic areas were found and therefore no suggestions are provided
