This way a two-stage optimisation is also possible. For a two-stage optimisation the resolution level and number of iterations must be chosen wisely and will need some fine tuning.
Preventing an Intersection
Intersections between optimisation results and the Design Space are needed to create the final, manufacturable design. This ensures all functional sharp edges are available and the generative designed part is inside the boundary limits.
The intersection is done automatically for every iteration. Therefore, the defined Design Space is intersected with each result iteration.
If an intersection is not directly requested, the command “noIntersection” can be added to the Advanced User Settings. In some cases the Design Space of the optimisation is not the one the intersection should take place with and therefore this additional command can be used. The intersection is not done for the iteration but the result is the smoothed optimisation design. For further information regarding a separate intersection with MSC Apex Generative Design have a look here.
