Introduction to MSC Apex Generative Design 2019
|
Training:
You can find all relevant data for this tutorial in the Example folder!
Step 1: Create a new project
In a first step, you need to create a new project. All data (geometry and configuration) will be copied and saved directly in a new project-folder, located in your workspace:
...
- Enter a projectname and save the project
- Open the newly created project
Step 2: Model generation
- Upload all relevant stl files by clicking on the symbol in the objects/surfaces area
- select all stl files
- The field at the bottom shows notifications to help you generate an optimization model
...
- Activate the option design space for the relevant stl file. Only one volume can be selected as such:
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
Go to the boundary conditions tab to enter the loads and fixations. For each boundary condition a name, a space and the specification of the boundary condition is entered as follows:
...
- Active in Loadcase4: Force7, Force8, Fixation1, Fixation2, Fixation3 and Fixation4
Step 4: Definition of optimization parameters
Switch to the optimization area. You can find more information about the parameter selection here.
...
You will find the optimizations with design type filigree and massive in the example files and can try out these variations.
Step 5: Save the project
Step 6: Starting the optimization and visualizing the results
If all data are correct, the optimzation can be started and tracked in the results area.
...
The optimization is finished after 64 iterations (optimizationtype: optimizing).
Step 7: Visualization of Stresses
The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the stresses of each iteration and sets the values from the current iteration.
Step 8: Visualization of Displacements
The legend can be influenced using the slider. The function "Automatically set to local minimum and maximum" considers the displacements of each iteration and sets the values from the current iteration.
