Triply-Periodic Minimal Surface Geometry Builder

The TPMS Builder is a sophisticated software solution specifically designed for the construction, visualization, and numerical analysis of Triply-Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) Lattices. This python-based software leverages numpy and Visualization Toolkit Library (VTK) to generate 30 different types of TPMS lattices, vastly expanding the options available in pre-existing software. Its unique capabilities include generating lattices within hexagonal or circular outer boundaries, frequently found in nuclear fuel assemblies. The software provides stereolithographic output compatible with 3D printing machines, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis Software, and reactor physics transport codes, making it a versatile tool for nuclear fuel and core design applications. University partners, particularly those focused on studying TPMS lattices via computational or experimental methods, stand to benefit significantly from this tool. The software also offers unique capabilities for nuclear fuel design, allowing for separate domains for fuel, cladding, and coolant or moderator media.
