New method for simulating «Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces»

Abstract

The Swiss software provider Spherene AG wants to prove why its patented Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces (ADMS) are superior to Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS, e.g. gyroid) that are increasingly available in many CAD tools. The problem is that there is no efficient and validated method for providing this proof using simulation. Traditional finite element simulation struggles with complex geometries. For the future, it is crucial to have a suitable calculation method available, as the number of highly complex, additively manufactured parts is expected to grow significantly in various industrial sectors. Meshfree technology offers great potential and is being investigated in this project.
