Create a NURBS-Geometry with the Facet Body to NURBS Geometry Tool. We recommend to use using a non-intersected geometry for this. Therefore, the smooth geometry can be exported from the Post Processing.
Boolean Intersection between the retransitioned NURBS-Geometry and Design Space either in MSC Apex Generative Design or MSC Apex.
Import the NURBS CAD-file to MSC Apex.
Remesh the geometry with a solid mesh (Tet-elements).
Apply the boundary conditions
Make sure that the applied boundary conditions are the same as in the optimisation (Loads are applied as RBE3 elements and fixations as RBE2 elements)

Export a design candidate from the Post Processing.
Make sure the intersected geometry is used. Otherwise, a manual intersection needs to take place in MSC Apex Generative Design or MSC Apex.
Import the intersected STL-file into MSC Apex as a mesh.
Use the Geometry-from-Mesh tool to create a faceted body.
Delete the imported surface mesh.
Remesh the geometry with a solid mesh (Tet-elements).
Apply the boundary conditions:
Make sure that the applied boundary conditions are the same as in the optimisation (Loads are applied similar as RBE3 elements and fixations as RBE2 elements)
