To include Custom Tools in MSC Apex Generative Design open the Application Settings → Custom Tools and point to the appropriate folder of Custom Tools e.g. from MSC Apex. The Generative Design Tools are placed inside of the Interoperability Tools. If you don’t have access to these, please contact the support.

Import (Adams Loads)

With the import tool the process of importing a huge amount of loads that were calculated using Adams gets easier. Following a short introduction how to use it:

...

The Queue Tool can be used to simulate multiple optimisations sequentially, instead of starting every single simulation manually. Therefore, different scenarios Scenarios can be prepare and simulated with one click. Following, a short description on how to use the tool:

  1. Start the tool.

  2. The first field defines the study Study which includes the to be calculated scenariosScenarios. Per default it is filled with “GD Study 1”, if another study Study hosts the scenariosScenarios, simply change the name in the field. Be be sure to type in the exact name of the studyStudy.

  3. Choose if the simulation is to be started in the Apex Generative Design GUI or if the scenarios Scenarios are to be exported and simulated in the command window Command Line.
    Keep in mind that the Post-Processing window will be empty until the optimisation is finished.

  4. If the scenarios Scenarios are exported and simulated in the command window Command Line, the option to reimport the results can be chosechosen.

  5. The simulation in the command window Command Line is set to use the standard installation folder of the GD-Engine (Program Files/MSC.Software/MSC Apex Generative Design/2021-853956…). If it is installed at another place it needs to be checked the boc box “use own GD_Engine path“ needs to be checked and define a path in the corresponding window that pops upneeds to be defined.

Automatic Mesh to CAD

This tool automates the process of the NURBS creation and the following intersection with the design space Design Space to get back the functional surfaces. Therefore only , three steps are necessary:
