Simple Volume Lattices

To expedite periodic lattice creation, when you want to add lattice to a volume, you can use one of three blocks: 

  1. Rectangular Volume Lattice 
  2. Cylindrical Volume Lattice
  3. Spherical Volume Lattice

These blocks will generate periodic lattices in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, respectively, without using the Periodic Lattice block or generating Cell Maps separately.

These blocks automatically create a Cell Map based on the implicit body used as the Volume input. You can use the Frame input to translate and orient the tessellation of the Unit Cells and check/uncheck the Trim option to trim the final lattice to the input Volume.

Note: These blocks use the same underlying technology as the Periodic Lattice block but can eliminate some setup steps when appropriate.
