Flat pattern of an
isogrid cone with cutouts based the Conical Structure patent no. 3,940,891
ISOGRID-SST™ powerfully generates unique flat patterns of isogrid and
waffle structure with bosses. It uniquely lays out efficient and producible
transitions at the bosses and perimeters for optimum structural
continuity at minimal weight.
It is easy to change the number, sizes and locations of the bosses as well as
the grid geometry to generate new plots.
The style of the transition pockets can be controlled to satisfy special structural
fixity and manufacturing requirements.
The above isogrid conical flat pattern includes diagonal ribs that follow
exponential spirals. This PS.A proprietary design approach produces ideal structural performance.
ISOGRID-SST™ also generates flat patterns for cylinders, circular plates, annuluses and
bicubic structures (i.e. structures that can be formed by bending).
