Next to the possibility to start the optimization from MSC Apex Generative Design User Interface, it is also possible to start an optimization via power shell (command line).
For this the in Apex prepared model needs to be exported into a seperate folder. After the export you can have a look at the folder and will find the stl files necessary as geometry inputs into the software as well as the configuration file. The configuration file constaints all information necessary of the algorithm to run through the optimization. Further information regarding the configuration file here.
To start the optimization a powershell needs to be opened. This can either be done by starting the powershell and navigating to the optimzation folder or directly in the optimization folder (shift+right MB). The algorithm is started using the command ….
This can be done locally or remotely on another server. It depends on the configuration file and the settings in here if the optimization is carried out on CPU or GPU.
