Seed points, Scalar Field, Volume Mesh

About this Block

What it does: Creates a Lattice from the Voronoi diagram of a list of seed points within a specified volume.
  • The Mesh input is optional, however; supplying a mesh will slow down the operation. Seed points not within the Mesh are not included in the Voronoi Lattice.
  • The block, Random Points in Body, is useful for creating seed points.
    • The seed points can be varied by using a Scalar Field, such as a Ramp, in their Point spacing input.
  • The Thickness of the lattice is a Scalar Field type, which allows for a variable Thickness.
  • Open up the block’s Properties Panel to view the beam, implicit, and thick graph properties.
    • These properties are populated based on the type of Unit Cell you use. An error sign with a tooltip appears next to the property if it is empty.
