Next to the possibility to start the optimization from MSC Apex Generative Design User Interface, it is also possible to start an optimization via command line (power shell).
For this the in MSC Apex Generative Design prepared optimization scenario can be exported into a seperate folder. In this folder all necessary files for the optimization are saved - the stl files as geometry input and the configuration file with all the optimization information. The configuration file contains all information necessary for the algorithm to run through the optimization and can be edited to change the optimization parameter. Further information regarding the configuration file here.
By executing the MSC Apex Generative Design Engine via command line inside this folder the optimization can be done without any graphical user interface. The optimization results are saved in the same folder an can be imported back into MSC Apex Generative Design to use the post processing.
How a command line optimization can be executed is discribed here.
