Preserving nature’s resources is one of the big issues of our time. So, in every level of product design, we aim for less material consumption and lower emissions throughout the complete product’s lifecycle. When the product is more lightweight these goals can be achieved. Generative Design can be of huge support for this, as its …
Generative Design at a Glance Part geometries optimized for their requirements are of high interest in product design. Historically, while this could be achieved after several weeks of work with topology optimization, nowadays Generative Design, which is a more versatile tool, offers powerful features for optimization in a much shorter time-frame. This is driven by …
Lacking a productive tool for taking advantage of hex mesh in product development missions, engineers reviewed and benchmarked MSC Apex versus their legacy workflow and tools, and found quite a few benefits from using the new workflow. Northrop Grumman Mission Systems specializes in the development of military radar systems and sensors for aerospace. These technologies …
MSC Apex Generative Design 2020 now builds upon the MSC Apex Framework as its user interface. The intuitive and versatile functions of this modern CAE environment significantly simplify and accelerate model setup and do not require intensive training or advanced knowledge. Existing geometries can be imported and adapted with the extensive CAD manipulation functions. Based …
MSC Software has introduced new interoperability enhancements between MSC Apex and MSC Nastran. The implementation of a new Faceted Body Toolset enables CAE analysts to automatically regenerate geometry from meshes without the need for manual CAD model recreation. “There is huge value in MSC Nastran engineering data for maintenance simulations or as a starting point …
In Finite Element Analysis, structures can be represented with a variety of elements including 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D elements. Thin walled structures are commonly represented with 2D or planar elements. Different dimension elements can be used to represent the same geometry. An I-Beam (W Shape) can be idealized as 1D, 2D, or 3D elements. …
