Generation of TPMS lattice

 


Below is the MATLAB program for the generation of TPMS lattices.

clc;

clear all;

a=pi;      %d     No of unit cells

s=pi/10; 

[x,y,z]=meshgrid(-a:s:a,-a:s:a,-a:s:a);  

u = (cos(x).*cos(y).*cos(z))- (sin(x).*sin(y).*sin(z)); ; % d TPMS formula

isosurface (x, y, z, u,0);

Gyroid Structure

The below code written in the MATLAB® can be used for generating the Gyroid structure.  %% Program clc; clear all; n1 = 2;  % Number of cells in x Direction n2 = 2;  % Number of cells in y Direction n3 = 2; % Number of cells in z Direction   a=2*n1*pi; % x direction parameters b=2*n2*pi; % y direction parameters g=2*n3*pi;  % z direction parameters   s=0.01;   [x,y,z]=meshgrid(-0.5:s:0.5,-0.5:s:0.5,-0.5:s:0.5);   % Gyroid Formula u = (sin(a.*x).* cos(b.*y) + sin(b.*y).* cos(g.*z) + sin(g.*z).* cos(a.*x));   % Level Set equation c =0.7; Ts= -(u+c).*(u-c);    % Sheet based Gyroid Tsk= u + c;        % Skeletal based Gyroid Isosurface(x,y,z,Ts,0); Isocaps(x,y,z,Ts,0); %% Program Ends If very less knowledge about coding, then the below software can be used for generating Gyroid and other lattice structures.

Generating Lattice Structures

Lattice structures are getting lots of momentum in various fields due to their eccentric properties [1] . It is very important to have easy method to design these lattice structures. Lattice_Karak [2] helps in getting the work done. It is free software with UI made for students and researchers. Using Lattice_Karak  helps in designing various TPMS structures, export them into stl file for further processing like 3D printing and Finite Element analysis.   Lattice_Karak can be downloaded using the below link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WWL-UbPzErFCFVFJqw1as9w0M61aMxB4/view?usp=sharing   Videos on how to further use lattice_karak. https://youtu.be/CuHQwsxPa3I   https://sites.google.com/iith.ac.in/lattice-karak/home   Suggested materials for understanding more about TPMS: 1)      https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2017.12.006 2)      https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2017.03.018 3)      https://doi.org/10...
