“The current solution may differ greatly from the expected due to large nondesign areas, please try the Advanced User Settings: BF1584446026”

If the Nondesign spaces are a large part of the Design the stress goal might not be reached, please add BF1584446026 to the Advanced User Settings to prevent this behaviour.

No volume greater than 50% found!
The optimization model is insufficiently designed. The solver cannot find a satisfactory solution.
...
This can be a hint that the stl file format is incorrect for a Restart or Startspace optimization. It’s also possible that the stl input file is defect. Please check the unit system and the quality of the input stl.
Another reason for this error can be an unsupported filename. There cannot be spaces, parenthesis and accents in the names – except for the SolidWorks stl files. SolidWorks produces a specific name which our engine supports and is able to read.
The software supports Binary stl files and almost all ASCII files but not faultless.
For further questions please contact MSC Apex Support.

One or more of the boundary conditions (Load, Moment, Acceleration, Pressure or Displacement) could not be found in the configuration file.
Please see which boundary condition in the explicit warning message!
...
The optimization will continue without this boundary condition. Review the result as well as your input and adjust the model setup if necessary.
Please contact MSC Apex Support for further information.

Please close other applications to free memory. The optimization will retry to allocate the memory and continue running if enough memory could be allocated.
Otherwise, reduce the Complexity of your optimization model (Application Settings - Generative Design Solver).
