ABSTRACT:
A cellular frame is generated to represent a solid geometric tetrahedron. The cellular frame comprises four sets of struts, each set of struts including three struts (46 or 46') which represent a planar face of the tetrahedron. Each strut is connected at a vertex to a strut in a neighboring face of the represented tetrahedron. A plurality of cellular frames can be oriented and connected together with each cellular frame sharing at least one vertex with another cellular frame. The connection of cellular frames results in the representation of exterior and/or interior geometrical structures by various struts included in one or more cellular frames.
