Hello,

I have made a density-based lattice topology optimization. To do a Static Structural analysis with the optimized part, meshing needs to be done. However it is not feasible; whenever I want to mesh, it ends with an error.

I would appreciate suggestions how to solve this problem. There is a picture of the geometry.

This can be a bit tricky without increasing the mesh too much, what error do you get while meshing? Have you tried patch independent mesh methods virtual topology etc?
Would it be useful to calculate equivalent material properties using a material designer instead?

Thank you for the answer. Yes, I tried these methods, but they did not work so far. May you explain to me how to calculate the equivalent material properties using a material designer?
Kind regards
