For a Retransition to a NURBS-Geometry a non-intersected optimisation result is needed. Therefore, the Smooth-Geometry from the Post Processing can be used. Go to the options of the “Transfer Design Candidate to pre processing” Button and activate the option “Map LBCs and Material”. Then press the button to start the process.
...
The optimised geometry needs to be meshed with a tetrahedral mesh for the reanalysis. For the Jet Engine Bracket a quadratic element with a mesh size of 3 mm is chosen.

(Step 4:

For the reanalysis in MSC Apex a 3D Element Property needs to be created. The corresponding Material ID with the used material (in this case: Titanium) needs to be selected.
If anisotropic material is used in the optimisation, a material coordinate system needs to be selected. In this case, create a new / correct one for your anisotropic material orientation.
...
Assign the 3D Element Property to your mesh (not to the solid)!
...
Check the material coordinate system orientation)
Optional: If you have used anisotropic material behaviour, please check if the used material coordinate system is orientated correctly. If you have changed the build direction in MSC Apex GD in the studies tab, the material orientation must be adjusted manually!
Step 5: Set up the static scenario
