You can find all relevant data for this tutorial in the Example folder! ("C:\Program Files\MSC.Software\MSC Apex Generative Design\2019\Examples")
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:
- Start MSC Apex Generative Design 2019
- Create a new project using the symbol
- Enter a projectname project name and save the project
- Open the newly created project
...
- Upload all relevant stl files by clicking on the symbol in the objects/surfaces area
- select Select all stl files
- The field at the bottom shows notifications to help you generate an optimization model
...
- Assign a Material to each object/surface and enter the specific values for the Young's Modulus (210e3115e3) and poisson ratio (0.2833) in the Material Editor
- Activate the option design space for the relevant stl file. Only one volume can be selected as such.
- In this case: Jet_engine_bracket - design-1
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions

Fixation1 | interface2interface3 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation2 | interface3interface4 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation3 | interface4interface5 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation4 | interface5interface6 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 8 forces and 4 fixations should have been created as a result.

If all data are correct, the optimzation optimization can be started and tracked in the results area.
