Hi,

 I created a Lattice structure for a curved model in Fusion 360 and I exported as STP file. When I open the STP model in Catia I am not able to see the Lattice structure I created. Kindly help

That workflow is not supported today.  The lattice geometry is not exported to neutral file formats such as STEP.  If you convert the lattice to a mesh, it can be exported as an STL file, but export to a BRep format such as STEP or IGES will not include the lattice geometry

Sir, 

Could you expalin that. I exported to STL as well still not able to see the lattice structure.

You have to first convert the lattice to a mesh:

The geometry in that lattice is not "real" geometry in the sense that a solid or surface body is real.  It is just visual, unless you convert it to a mesh.

Hi sir,

As you can see above, I created a volumetric Lattice. when I use convert to mesh, I get the part body as meshed. I am not able to mesh the volumetric mesh. Am totally stuck here.

Hi sir ,

 

 I got it after doing experimentation. AM quite new to fusion 360. thank you for your help
