In this folder all necessary files for the optimisation are saved - the STL-files as geometry input and the configuration file (.json) with all the optimisation information. The configuration file contains all information necessary for the algorithm to run through the optimisation and can be edited to change the optimisation parameters. Further information on the structure of the Configuration file can be found here.

To start the optimisation via command line a Windows PowerShell is needed. This PowerShell has to be started inside the folder. Therefore, the keys shift+right mouse button have to be used inside the Windows explorer. Another option is to start the PowerShell and then navigate to the optimisation folder.

For a trouble free view of the command line output activate the colour coding in your Power Shell. For instructions have a look here.
In the folder a new subfolder with a timestamp as name is created in which all output files are saved in.

When the optimisation is finished, the result files can be reimported into MSC Apex Generative Design to visualize and evaluate the results in the Post Processing. Therefore, choose File->Import Generative Design Results and select the result folder. Under the studies tab a new scenario with the imported files will be created. The results can be imported to an already existing Apex project or to a new blank one.
...
After this the Post Processing can be used as usual.
