All files are available in the project folder You can find the different log files as well as the result files of the optimisation in your workspace where the optimization was started. An export out of the program is not necessary since all files are saved during the optimization in the project folder.
There are several export options for the geometry data available and several log files are saved automatically.
Further information here.

. By default your workspace is defined as:
C:\Users\ExampleUser\Documents\Apex Generative Design Workspace
In this parent folder you can find a separate folder for each project you have saved. In these you can find your latest optimisations (named after your scenario).
For example: exampleProject/Meshless Generative Design Scenario… .v1
The unit system for all values are SI-Units (m - kg - s - N)
Log file | Explanation |
|---|---|
log_warning.log | All warnings are saved in here for each iteration (only saved if there is a warning message) |
log_error.log | All errors are saved in here for each iteration (only saved if there is an error message) |
analyse.log | Results of the first FEM analysis and last FEM analysis are saved here |
log_export.log | Gives information about the needed time to export the result files |
log_FEM.log | includes information about the FEM analysis (like needed memory, solve time and number of solving iterations for each load case) |
log_loadConfig.log | Gives information about the calculated edge length of elements at the highest resolution level |
log_loop.log | includes information about the time needed for each iteration |
numOfIteration.log | shows how many iterations are being calculated |
config.cfg | Text file with all the inputs of the optimisation model |
buildSpace_binary_StressAndDis_Loop_… .ply | result files of the optimisation |
FunctionOptimizer…Log.log | delivers current and estimated volume of the optimised part Based on voxels and dependent on the current revolution |
