Spaceclaim – surfaces from implicit equations

      Hi,

      How can I create a surface from an implicit equation? For example ;

      sin(x)*cos(y)+ sin(y)*cos(z)+ sin(z)*cos(x) = 0 ;

      Appreciate any help.

      Do you have matlab? Below are the three lines that can plot that surface.
      >> syms x y z
      >> eqn = sin(x)*cos(y) + sin(y)*cos(z) + sin(z)*cos(x);
      >> fimplicit3(eqn,[-2*pi 2*pi])
      Once you have that, you can export that surface as an STL file and import that into SpaceClaim.

      Using a slightly different matlab script, I created the same surface, and used stlwrite to create the attached STL file.
      I have attached the stl file inside the 7z archive.

      Can I know how can we generate the TPMS structures in spaceclaim? instead of using MATLAB? so I can do the parametric modelling of the structure
