Here are the key highlights of our 2024.1 release:

...

  • Mission Switch
    A direct switch between Apex Generative Design and Apex Structures to further enhance and ease the process of result validation with a comprehensive FE simulation without export/ import of data and without switching the software

...

  • Casting (Advanced User Settings)
    Relevant manufacturing constraints for casting are now implemented, allowing to create optimized, castable designs with a highly automated workflow.

...

  • Mass Target (Advanced User Settings)
    This feature allows users to define a specific mass goal for their optimized designs, suitable for scenarios with specific weight limitations or objectives related to material usage.

...

  • Maximum thickness (Experimental Function)
    With this feature the user can set a value for the maximum size of generated structures to avoid too big material accumulation and achieve better manufacturability. Currently, this is only a tech demo and available via the Advanced User Settings

...
