What are log-files? Where can I find my result files?

You can find all Result-files as well as the different Log-files of the optimisation in your workspace. By default your workspace is defined as:

C:\Users\ExampleUser\Documents\Apex Generative Design Workspace

In this parent folder you can find a separate folder for each project you have saved. In these you can find your latest optimisations (named after your scenario).

For example: exampleProject/GD Scenario 1 Step 1.v1

Log-file	Explanation

Log-file	Explanation
log_warning.log	All warnings are saved in here for each iteration (only saved if there is a warning message)
log_error.log	All errors are saved in here for each iteration (only saved if there is an error message)
analyse.log	Results of the first FEM analysis and last FEM analysis are saved here
log_export.log	Gives information about the needed time to export the Result-files
log_FEM.log	includes information about the FEM analysis (like needed memory, solve time and number of solving iterations for each load case)
log_loadConfig.log	Gives information about the calculated edge length of elements at the highest resolution level
log_loop.log	includes information about the time needed for each iteration
numOfIteration.log	shows how many iterations are being calculated
config.cfg	Text-file with all the inputs of the optimisation model
buildSpace_binary_StressAndDis_Loop_… .ply	Result-files of the optimisation
buildSpace_MC_MainData_Loop_….ply	Result-files of the optimisation (not intersected geometry as STL-file)
FunctionOptimizer…Log.log	delivers current and estimated volume of the optimised part Based on voxels and dependent on the current resolution
