...
You can either create the geometry directly in MSC Apex Generative Design or import already existing files. You can import for example .xb, .xt, .step, and .sldprt files into the program.
...
Create the material Titanium in the Materials editor and assign it to the Design Space. In this case the material behaviour is Isotropic.
The specific values needed are the Young's Modulus (116e3 MPa), Poisson ratio (0.26) and Density (4.48e-6 kg/mm3).
The Tension Strength is the maximum allowable stress for the material and is set to 1290 MPa.
...
Manufacturing Method: Generic AM
Failure Criteria: Von Mises
Stress Goal: 600 MPa
Select the Strut Density: Medium
Select the Shape Quality: Balanced
Set the Complexity Setting: 14
...
Step 7: Starting the optimisation and visualize the results
...
All result iterations are displayed as soon as they are available. Furthermore, you are able to stop the optimisation in this selection area. However, a Restart is not directly possible.
...
You can go back to the model setup by clicking the Exit button in the right bottom corner.
