HypermeshLatticeMesher

Tool to generate lattice Meshes from existing hex meshes in Hyperworks (for now - maybe other element types later)

From input as a .fem file - the program generates lattice structures which can be then used for an 1D element analysis / optimization Currently implemented: Hex8 elements, Hex20 is somewhat done but not fully (26.06.2022)

When exporting .fem files, make sure, you use the free format and don't remove the E from real values --> Edit: No E's are now okay - you can just don't care about it:

Notes (for coding)

Some notes for better understanding the code in here (mostly for myself)
