LATONA is an automatic mid-mesh generation tool featuring shape recognition and mesh control functions aiming to directly create analysis-ready modeling, which allows automatic settings of wall thickness, material properties, and boundary/load conditions.
A model will be created with wholly mid-mesh, but LATONA allows shell mesh modeling of combined design (outer surfaces) and mid-mesh.
LATONA creates mid-meshes by offsetting outer surfaces into mid position, which allows robust results and improved trackability of its original 3D shape.
LATONA has its own mesh error repair function, in addition to mesh rules, that can be set up by users to repair/improve subpar mesh results.
LATONA has embedded functions for shape recognition which can be extended for various applications, i.e. mesh control, modeling of connectors in assembly models, etc.
LATONA creates mid-mesh along with the settings of wall thickness and material, load, and boundary conditions, which will directly generate analysis-ready models.
Current mid-meshing tools lack automated connector meshing, requiring manual, time-consuming additions. LATONA automates both part mid-meshing and connector mesh generation with customizable rules. This boosts efficiency, reduces workload by up to 50%, and streamlines assembly model meshing.
