Step 1: Transfer Design Candidate & Map LBCs and Material
For this Tutorial the Jet Engine Bracket project is used.
...
With the green checkmark the mapping can be confirmed:
...
Step 2: Switch to Nastran mission
Go to Options->Missions->Nastran
The Interface will change from Pre-Processing Generative Design to Pre-Processing Nastran.
...
The GD-objects are hidden, but still available after going back to the Generative Design Mission. This allows a seamless transition between the verification of the model and the generation of new Designs without building up the model multiple times or handling different files for the same model.
Step 3: Meshing
The optimised geometry needs to be meshed with a tetrahedral mesh for the reanalysis. For the Jet Engine Bracket a quadratic element with a mesh size of 3 mm is chosen.
...
(Step 4: Check the material coordinate system orientation)
Optional: If you have used anisotropic material behaviour, please check if the used material coordinate system is orientated correctly. If you have changed the build direction in MSC Apex GD in the studies tab, the material orientation must be adjusted manually!
Step 5: Set up the static scenario
In the studies tab the static analysis scenario can be set up. Therefore, the model representation needs to be linked to the optimised geometry. Under Loads & Constraints the Events can be set up.
