For a Retransition to a NURBS CAD-Geometry a non-intersected optimisation result is needed. Therefore, a STLthe Smooth-file from the scenario result folder in the workspace is imported.
Documents → Apex Generative Design Workspace→ Bridge_NURBS → Meshless Generative Design Scenario 1 Step 1.v1 → buildSpace_MC_MainData_Loop_64.stl
Take care to choose the right unit system. Projects calculated directly in MSC Apex Generative Design are always calculated in SI-Units (meters).Geometry from the Post Processing should be exported. The geometry of this file stays always inside the Design Spaces limits except of the Non-Desgin areas, they intentionally exceed the Design Space limits to enable always an easy and clean boolean intersection
...
After importing the nonSmooth-intersected Geometry STL-file the optimisation result is displayed as a Faceted Solid inside the model tree.

Step 2: Mesh to CAD
With the Facet Body to NURBS Geometry Tool under the Geometry Edit Tools the STL-file can be transitioned to a CADNURBS-fileGeometry. Therefore, the Automatic Size Calculation and the Partition Preview can stay active. With the middle mouse button (MMB) the operation can be executed.
...
If the partition looks satisfying the NURBS patch creation can be started by confirming with the middle mouse button (MMB). If finer, smaller patches are desired the NURBS Face size can be varied manually. Depending on the Geometry this step can take some time.
