Simulation with Millipede



This is a 3-part series of videos on FEA simulation and optimization using the Millipede plug-in with Crystallon. Each video is between 1-2 hours.


Introduction to Crystallon


Introduction to Crystallon is a free webinar for getting started using the Crystallon plug-in. We discuss the theory of lattice structures, their applications and workflows using Crystallon. The recording of the webinar is free to watch on YouTube.


What (Really) is Generative Design?


There is a whole lot of talk now about “generative design”. The hype around additive manufacturing becoming a viable means of production has created a major shift in the marketing and development of design and simulation software. “Hype” always means there is some blurriness in facts, and terminology is used freely and sometimes wrong, whether intentional or not. So, without the bias of promoting any particular software, I thought I would try to explain some of this terminology and their processes in a general and understandable way.

Learning Curves



Crystallon V2 is online at https://www.food4rhino.com/app/crystallon. Check it out and give it a try!

Yet there are always more improvements that can happen. I would like to introduce a few new components that I have found helpful and will be included in the next release, but you can try them now. They are online at https://github.com/fequalsf/Crystallon/tree/0972066e468f0a7a592ff4e7e88226028dcb029c/V2.1


Crystallon v1.1 coming soon!



Thank you all for your support on the Crystallon project! I have received a lot of great feedback so far.

I am currently working on updates for the next release coming in the next few weeks. Here is a quick preview of the updates:
