Problem Statement:

Select a suitable Structural/Mechanical component

and minimize the weight of the component by
inserting lattice structure/ by topology optimization.
Analyse the optimized model and compare it with
the original design.

Procedure:
Step 1: We have used Solidworks for creating the CAD model and have chosen
Connecting Rod for topology optimization and analysis. The topology optimization
and analysis will be done using nTopology.
Step 2: Import the CAD model to nTopology.

Step 3: Convert CAD body into an implicit body.

Step 4: Create a volume lattice using the given lattice parameters:

Volume: Implicit Body

Unit Type: Diamond
Fill Type: All Touching
Scale: 3mm in X direction, 3 mm in Y direction and 3 mm in Z direction

Step 5: Trim the unwanted part of the lattice. Where feature tolerance is 0.01mm.
Step 6: Make a thicker lattice with 0.5 mm of thickness.

Step 7: The figure below is the final lattice structure.

Step 8: Generate the Mesh from the Implicit body.
