Abstract
A system and method of creating a lattice structure for a part formed via additive manufacturing. The method includes generating a finite element mesh including a first finite element, generating a first natural space data structure such that the first finite element includes the first natural space data structure, generating a first unit cell corresponding to the first finite element, and generating a first design space data structure such that the first unit cell includes the first design space data structure and the first natural space data structure. The method further includes modifying the first unit cell via the first design space data structure and modifying the first unit cell via the first natural space data structure to correspond to the modifications of the first unit cell in the first design space data structure.
