VOLUMETRIC CELLS: A FRAMEWORK FOR A BIO-INSPIRED GEOMETRIC MODELLING METHOD TO SUPPORT HETEROGENEOUS LATTICE STRUCTURES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2020
Abstract
Current geometrical modelling approaches are unable to handle complex geometrical objects such as heterogeneous lattice structures. In this work, a framework for a novel bio-inspired geometric modelling method is proposed. The method can potentially support geometric modelling of heterogeneous lattice structures. The method utilises discretisation algorithms that are based on cell division processes encountered in nature. The method is verified on two 2D use-cases.
