pylatt 1.0.0

Mechanical lattices

PYLATT

Numerical models of mechanical lattices (truss/frame structures)

• Easy to use interface --- define only the nodes and beams in the irreducible unit cell.
• Calculation of phononic band diagrams --- with utilities to define the path along the edges of the Brillouin zone.
• Auto-diferentiable --- allowing the optimization of discrete metamaterials.

Installation

From Pypi

Simply run

pip install pylatt

If you want more numerical backends (pytorch, autograd and jax), including auto-differentiation and GPU acceleration, install the full version:

pip install pylatt[full]
