Optimization
For the optimization with MSC Apex Generative Design 2019 an optimization model needs to be setup in the program. The steps are explained in the subpages as well as in the Tutorials. This setup consists of the geometry data in form of the stl files and the configuration file .amendate which contains all the information the algorithm needs to consider the setup of the optimization. In your peoject folder the setup looks like this:
Once an optimization is started, the program automatically creates a new folder to save all the optimization results.
In every iteration geometry files as well as information in log files depending on the selection are saved in this folder. More information about the different result files and export commands can be found here.
Visualization Space
All loaded objects as well as forces, moments and fixations are displayed in the visualization area during the model generation. In the results area, the view changes to display the calcualtion results.The display of the coordinate system can be reduced/enlarged or deactivated via the settings menu. In addition, the background pattern and color, brightness, shading and edge smoothing strength can be adjusted. In addition, the colors of the objects and boundary conditions can be adjusted according to your own ideas
Using the buttons in the lower right area, you can select both an orthographic and a perspective view, as well as different views according to the coordinate axes. In addition, screenshots of each view can be created and automatically saved in the project designated folder. Only the visualization area and the coordinate system are considered. The program interface itself is not saved.
...
In the visualization area there is a field in the bottom left corner in which messages are played back to the user. These messages contain both positive messages, e.g. when successfully loading a new file, and error messages, which are intended to draw the user's attention to a particular situation. This field can also be expanded upwards to display older messages.
The display of the coordinate system can be reduced/enlarged or deactivated via the settings menu.
