...
Import/create the Design Space including the Non-Design Spacesin MSC Apex Generative Design 2020 as one solid. For this GD-Bracket the already prepared Design Space was imported.
Open the Optimization Tools to select the imported Geometry as the Design Space
...
Non-Design Spaceshave to be selected using the optimisation Tools. In this case six fixation points at the bottom of the part and four force application points are selected using the direct method.
...
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
...
Create the material in the Materials editor and assign it to the Design Space
The specific values needed are the Young's Modulus (192e3 MPa), Poisson ratio (0.3) and Density (7.97e-6 kg/mm3)
...
For the next steps the Machining Allowances are hidden.
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
