Nexus Connection Example - GD-Bracket

Make sure to start the workflow by selecting a material in the Nexus platform so that all connected products use the same material information.

Step 1: Connect to Nexus

Select the Nexus Connect button and sign in with your credentials.

Step 2: Create a project

Create a new Design & Additive Manufacturing project and enter the name of the project.

Step 3: Material definition

Select a material from the materials list in Nexus.

Step 4: Geometry import

Import your geometry base for the optimisation.

Step 5: Define Design Space

Select the geometry as the Design Space.

Step 6: Assign the material

The material selected in the Nexus project is imported in Apex GD. Assign it to the Design Space.

Step 7: Optimisation preparation and run-through

Please go to the GD-Bracket Tutorial and follow the instructions starting at Step 3 to setup the optimisation model and carry out the optimisation.

Step 8: File upload

Upload the result directly from the post processing to your Nexus project with the Push Changes option. The Print and Nominal geometries of the last iteration are pushed to the Nexus project and the you can continue the AM workflow in AM-Studio and Simufact Additive.
