The material selected in the Nexus project document is imported in Apex GD. Assign it to the Design Space.

Upload the result directly from the post processing to your Nexus project document with the Push Changes option. The Print and Nominal geometries of the last iteration are pushed to the Nexus project document and the you can continue the AM workflow in AM-Studio and Simufact Additive.

Import the build direction from AM-Studio or Simufact Additive
The build direction of the created design might be changed by AM-Studio or Simufact Additive. If this is the case, the optimal build direction can be reimported in MSC Apex GD and a new optimisation considering this new orientation can be carried out.
Therefore, the changes need to be synced. After the synchronisation, a new coordinate system is created in the Model Browser. Set the coordinate system as the active PCS and create a new Scenario which is referencing this coordinate system. Activate the AM Design Rules to optimise the structure according to the build direction and start the optimisation. Afterwards go through the usual steps to upload the result to your Nexus document.
Limitation: The created coordinate system needs to be set as the active PCS by the user.
