Step 1: Start MSC Apex Generative Design

...

  • Open the Design Space Tool in the Optimisation Tools.

  • Choose the second method Create Design Space enclosing parts and select the three parts you want to consolidate.

...

  • You can choose the Boundary Offset and Alignment Type and an Offset Factor in the Advanced Properties. In this case an offset percentage a global alignment and a boundary offset of 5% was is chosen to give the optimiser more room to operate.

  • The input is confirmed and the Tool creates a new part with the initial Design Space.

...

You can check the status of the optimisation in the GD Status and get more information on Warning and Error messages. This can be done directly in the Post-Processing as well as in the Studies tab for an optimisation that has already run.

Step 7: Visualization of Stresses & Displacements

  • Inside the Post Processing the von Mises stress and the displacements are visible for all iterations and for every Event. The Scale can be influenced individually
