PTC introduced Stochastic lattices (random lattices) in Creo Parametric 6.0.  This first implementation of the stochastic lattices used Voronoi diagram algorithm. Voronoi is a common algorithm when you want a lattice to conform to bionic shapes.

However, starting with Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0, Delaunay triangulation was introduced. The Delaunay triangulation generates a set of triangles to use as polygons in the model.

To learn more about creating Stochastic lattices using the Delaunay triangulation, refer to this tutorial on PTC Learning Connector
