Syntax
Description
Examples
Example 1: A closed surface
Example 2: A non-closed surface

clear; close all; clc;

Syntax

[F,V,C]=triplyPeriodicMinimalSurface(inputStruct);

Description

This function generates Stochastic Bicontinuous Microstructures

Input structure and default values:

inputStruct.L=1; % characteristic length inputStruct.Ns=80; % number of sampling points inputStruct.anisotropyFactors=[1 1 1]; inputStruct.isocap=1; %Option to cap the isosurface inputStruct.surfaceCase='g'; %Surface type inputStruct.numPeriods=[1 1 1]; %Number of periods in each direction inputStruct.levelset=0.5; %Isosurface level

Examples

Plot settings

cMap=parula(250);
faceAlpha1=1;
faceAlpha2=0.5;
edgeColor1='none';
edgeColor2='none';
fontSize=15;

Example 1: A closed surface

inputStruct.L=1; % characteristic length
inputStruct.Ns=80; % number of sampling points
inputStruct.anisotropyFactors=[1 1 1];
inputStruct.isocap=1; %Option to cap the isosurface
inputStruct.surfaceCase='g'; %Surface type
inputStruct.numPeriods=[3 3 3]; %Number of periods in each direction
inputStruct.levelset=0.5; %Isosurface level

Create triply periodic minimal surface

[F,V,C]=triplyPeriodicMinimalSurface(inputStruct);

Using grouping to keep only largest group

groupOptStruct.outputType='label';
[G,~,groupSize]=tesgroup(F,groupOptStruct); %Group connected faces
[~,indKeep]=max(groupSize); %Index of largest group

%Keep only largest group
F=F(G==indKeep,:); %Trim faces
C=C(G==indKeep,:); %Trim color data
[F,V]=patchCleanUnused(F,V); %Remove unused nodes

Visualize surface

cFigure;
gpatch(F,V,C,'none');
axisGeom; camlight headlight;
colormap gjet; icolorbar;
gdrawnow;

Example 2: A non-closed surface

inputStruct.L=1; % characteristic length
inputStruct.Ns=80; % number of sampling points
inputStruct.anisotropyFactors=[1 1 1];
inputStruct.isocap=0; %Option to cap the isosurface
inputStruct.surfaceCase='g'; %Surface type
inputStruct.numPeriods=[1 1 1]; %Number of periods in each direction
inputStruct.levelset=0.5; %Isosurface level

Create stochastic structure

[F,V,C]=triplyPeriodicMinimalSurface(inputStruct);

Using grouping to keep only largest group

groupOptStruct.outputType='label';
[G,~,groupSize]=tesgroup(F,groupOptStruct); %Group connected faces
[~,indKeep]=max(groupSize); %Index of largest group

%Keep only largest group
F=F(G==indKeep,:); %Trim faces
C=C(G==indKeep,:); %Trim color data
[F,V]=patchCleanUnused(F,V); %Remove unused nodes

Get boundary edges

Eb=patchBoundary(F,V);

Visualize surface

cFigure;
gpatch(F,V,'kw','none');
gpatch(Eb,V,[],'b',1,2);
axisGeom; camlight headlight;
gdrawnow;
