In a first step, you need to create a new project. All data (geometry and configuration) directly will be copied and saved in a new project-folder, located in your workspace:
- Start AMendateStart MSC Apex Generative Design 2019
- Create a new project using the symbol
...
| Name | Object | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force | Pedalfootsurface1 | y | -1000 |
- Object "Pedalfootsurface1" experiences a force of -1000 N in y-direction (Force). The force of the whole pedal is -2000 N. If you are using the symmetry option, the force must be adjusted to the calculation model. If only half of the component is calculated (symmetry along the z-axis), the force must also be cut in half. The example already considers this restriction.
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation | Pedalaxle1 | x, y, z (=0) |
...
- Choose the design type normal
- Enter the optimization goal stress: 60 MPa
- Set the symmetry setting: Z-Axis. The Z-Axis symmetry constraint is used to span a plane along the x- and y-axes in the coordinate origin.
All Inputs can be viewed and checked in the configuration file. The file should look like this.

The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the stressesof each iteration and sets the values from the current 
iteration.
