Simplex Lattice Design
The simplex lattice design is a space filling design that creates a triangular grid of runs. The design is the set of blends where the factors’ values are i / m, where i varies from 0 to m and the sum of the factors is 1. For a three-level design, a factor can be set at 0, 0.33, 0.66, or 1.
To create an example simplex lattice design:
1.
Select DOE > Classical > Mixture Design.
2.
Use three factors for this example. No changes need to be made to the Factors section.
3.
Click Continue.
4.
Click Simplex Lattice to generate the design.
Note: The default setting of 5 levels was used. There is a text box that enables you to adjust the number of levels

5.
Click Make Table.
Visualize the Design
6.
From the design table, select Graph >Ternary Plot.
7.
Select X1, X2, and X3 and click X, Plotting, and then click OK.

For details about ternary plots see Ternary Plot Overview.
As the number of levels increases, the number of design points increases, decreasing the space between design points. In contrast to the simplex centroid design, the simplex lattice design does not necessarily include the centroid.
