Smart Generative Design for an unmatched Design for Additive Manufacturing Experience
Existing CAD data can be directly imported into MSC Apex Generative Design. The import feature can handle all common CAD file formats, from STL and STEP files through to a number of proprietary CAD software file formats. If needed, even complex assemblies can be imported. Otherwise, the model can be created from scratch directly within the software.
Using the versatile geometry tools, the imported data can be easily manipulated for preparing the optimisation model. Specialised functions allow the highly efficient preparation of complex assemblies. Loads and boundary conditions are quickly defined with the corresponding features to complete the model setup.
The software automatically creates a mesh within seconds and starts the optimisation run. It intelligently smooths and properly intersects the geometry in every iteration And the algorithm creates feasible, directly usable and reliable designs.
With just a few mouse clicks the generated mesh is quickly transferred to a NURBS‐based CAD file format, so that it can be utilized in the user’s common CAD/CAM workflow – no more manual work required!
