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
