Micromechanical Model of an Octet-Truss Lattice Cell
Application ID: 132251
Lattice structures enable the creation of advanced materials for additive manufacturing with customized mechanical properties. At the macroscopic level, these structures can be modeled as homogeneous materials using homogenization techniques that determine their effective material properties from the characteristics of the lattice structure and its constituent materials.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- soit le Module MEMS, ou Module Structural Mechanics
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
