    Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for designing a three-dimensional (3D) finite element mesh of a 3D part that comprises a lattice structure. The method includes superposing a regular tiling of cells with the solid representation of a 3D part, partitioning the cells into two groups, a first group of cells, each in contact with the solid representation of the 3D part, and a second group of cells, none in contact with the solid representation. The method also includes finite element meshing a boundary of the solid representation, extracting a boundary finite element mesh of the first group of cells, computing a Boolean union of the finite element mesh and the extracted boundary finite element mesh, finite element meshing a volume of the computed Boolean union and merging the finite element meshes of meshed volume of computed Boolean union and the cells of the second group of cells.
