The workflow of generative design can be divided into 6 steps:
A Design always starts with the Geometry Preparation. This step can be done either in a CAD program or directly in MSC Apex Generative Design.
In the next step Geometry & Boundary Conditions the prepared geometry is modified to contain the defined spaces of an optimisation model. Furthermore, the loads and fixations are applied to the model. This happens in the “Model Tab” of MSC Apex Generative Design.
Then the last step of the model preparation can take place. The boundary conditions are assigned to Events (load cases) and the optimisation parameters are defined. After the set-up is complete, the Optimisation can be carried out.
Once an optimisation is started you are directly transferred to thePost ProcessingPost Processing in MSC Apex Generative Design and you can track the progress of your optimisation in a live view. The Post Processing gives information about the stresses, displacements and mass of each iteration. The intersection has been integrated in the optimisation process and doesn’t need to be carried out manually. Every iteration is now available as an intersected file. For more information regarding the intersection have a look here.
The intersected model is used in the ReanalysisFE-Reanalysis with MSC Apex (Nastran)to verify the structure for the specified usage.
