In Creo, it is now possible to generate formula-driven lattices featuring variable wall thickness determined by simulation outcomes.

The addition of the capability to create formula-driven lattices with wall thickness varying based on simulation results is a notable enhancement.

Illustratively, within an assembly, selecting the connecting rod as the active part allows the creation of a formula-driven lattice with varying wall thickness.

This functionality extends to mapping Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results to a Creo part containing a lattice, dynamically adjusting wall thickness according to stress paths.

The resultant lattice exhibits higher density (thicker walls) in regions of elevated stress and lower density (thinner walls) in regions of reduced stress. This proves advantageous for optimizing items like heat exchangers, ensuring they are structurally robust while being tailored to withstand specific loads.
