Summary:Numerical simulations are essential for predicting the mechanical properties of different structures like gyroids that center this study. Three different methods are explored: shell elements, solid elements, and homogenization. Results reveal that homogenization is only suitable for obtaining the properties in the elastic zone, whereas solid models can determine also the behaviors in the plateau zone and the densification point. In the case of shell elements model, it can predict the elastic behavior model and the levels of stress in the plateau zone but with a lower accuracy than the solid element, but it cannot predict the densification point.
