MSC Apex Generative Design supports one solid as the Design Space in the optimisation. If only one solid is available in the project then this solid is automatically chosen as the Design Space. Furthermore, all associated Interfaces and Non-Design Spaces of this solid will be considered. The boundary conditions applied to the solid can be chosen and sorted into different Events.
If the Design Space and Non-Design Spaces consist of multiple (imported) solids the solids can be merged using a Boolean operation. This way only one solid exists and is defined as the Design Space. Make sure to activate the Merge Solids as Cells option to create cells that can be directly chosen as Non-Design Spaces or create the appropriate geometries using the Interface Tool. Further information regarding the different geometry types of an optimisation here.
