Import/create the Design Spaceincluding theNon-Design Spacesin MSC Apex Generative Design as one solid. For this Jet Engine Bracket the already prepared Design Space was imported.
Create the material in the Materials editor and assign it to the Design Space
The specific values needed are the Young's Modulus (116e3 MPa), Poisson ratio (0.26) and Density (4.48e-6 kg/mm3)Open the Optimization Tools to select the imported Geometry as the Design Space
...
Non-Design Spaces have to be selected using the optimisation Tools. In this case the four fixation points and two force application points are selected and a Non-Design Space with an offset of 3 mm is created for each.
...
Machining Allowances should be applied to every functional surface. Thus, at the end two geometries are created: The Norm-Geometry and the Print-Geometry.
...
In this case a value of 1 mm was chosen. How much Material Allowance is necessary, depends on the dimensions of the part and the manufacturing process/machine.
Adjacent Faces should be selected at once, to create one coherent Machining Allowance

Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
...
By opening the Coordinate Tools a local coordinate systems can be placed on the bottom plane (coordinate system 1).
...
For the next steps the Machining Allowances are hidden.
To apply the forces the Loads & Boundary Condition Tool is needed. Select Faces on the left side. By disabling the Thunderbolt (tool execution mode selector) on the top, both surfaces of the Non-Design Spaces can be selected simultaneously and a Remote Force between them can be applied. In the Orientation field an external (local) coordinate system can be selected (coordinate system 1).
