This article is the second part of a blog introducing Lattice Structure Homogenization. In the first part, we introduced the homogenization of lattice structures as elastic bodies. In the second part, we will introduce the homogenization of channels created by lattice structures, including the homogenization process through numerical experiments and visualization of the homogenization results.

Have you ever done an analysis on a lattice structure? Lattice structures tend to be difficult to mesh and computationally expensive. Homogenization is an effective way to reduce the analysis cost of lattice structures. This article introduces homogenization to elastic matrices by numerical experiments and visualization of the homogenized elastic matrices.

Have you ever performed optimization in Grasshopper? Specifically, have you used Tunny for optimization? During that time, did you ever feel that the optimization was not working well? The category of optimization called black-box optimization, which Tunny uses, has slower convergence compared to sensitivity-based optimization (such as topology optimization). If the settings are not properly configured or the problem is not suitable, the result may end up being just slightly better than random. In this article, let's look at the optimization results using Tunny with different settings.

This article presents an example of a design flow using an in-house design environment, with one specific design case study.

This article considers the importance of material models in numerical analysis through the modeling of lunar soil (Regolith) and dynamic analysis of drop tests.

This is the second installment of our project to think about structural mechanics while taking a walk. This time, while walking around Japanese towers, we will explain the mechanics and structural devices behind the towers and ponder the greatness of our predecessors. After reading this, you should be able to see the framework of the tower through the tower.

In this article we run geometry optimization using OpenFoam CFD results + Grasshopper.

Using Shimenawa decorations as a subject, this article introduces the theory and simulation methods of deformation for flexible rod-like objects.

Most of the hinge caps used in condiments and cosmetics have an open/close mechanism achieved by bistability. This article introduces bistable hinge caps from a mechanical point of view.

Is everyone using ChatGPT? Various uses and updates are making the rounds on the Internet on a regular basis, but you may not think that Rhino and Grasshopper have much to do with it. There are already plug-ins available that use ChatGPT to control Rhino and GH, though not necessarily in a stable manner. If you check how it works with your familiar software, you will feel more familiar with ChatGPT. Let's check the implementation of existing plug-ins and see how they work.
