solidworks honeycomb structure

[Agel]

Hello everyone, I write this post to you as it's just that I'm passionate about 3d printing and lately I wanted to simulate the resistance of some components before printing them. So, I ask you if any of you know any technique to "empty" a solid honeycomb by reading it without compromising the structure using solidworks? or if it exists, a specific software that allows me to create such structures for a component obtained by 3d printing?
Thank you.

exists the command sempty that removes material starting from a face and maintaining a background thickness.
certain that an image would help, sometimes even a saint of father pio

hi, the function empties it but every time I have to draw the desired structure but above all using the "repetition" function distributes it in an unsuitable manner. is there not a function dedicated to 3d printing to create such types of structures? ? ?

You can do sketchy repetition.
in practice do the function of digging a hexagonal cell
create a sketch in which insert n points how many cells are, these points will be the centers of cells.
Do the sketch repetition.

you can automate everything using equations that contain formulas for which to change the cell side automatically change the distance of the repetition sketch points
or study and change the library function (which is a repeat of round holes) present in the bread task (see image)

Maybe something more I managed to do it. . .but I know that model first in solid and then I generate the honeycomb structure on the program dedicated to the press, then reimport it in solid to make the simulations. ..always if you can!! for when it comes to creating a parametric sketch you can tell me somehow? Thank you.

When it comes to creating a parametric sketch, do you know how to indicate me? Thank you.

If you show us at least one hand drawing of the schetch you have to do tell us what the odds they command and how you want them related to the others then maybe you can give you a hand. to answer your question above (and it is not difficult to guess it eh) it would take divine friars. . .

hi...in practice I would like the value of the polygon sides and the thickness of this quarry structure to depend on the only value of the ray inscribed in the polygon. I don't know where to put my hand to create a parametric element!!!! I'll get you a picture to make you better understand.

you have to tie the two odds with an equation: double click on the quota 0.1 then in the field where you type the value write = then click on the portion of the diameter, return to the input window of the values and add the division, in your case it is /50
studied well the help on the use of equations because when you have to relate the quantities between them are, of course, indispensable.

Now be happy... thank you very much for the help.
