MSC Apex: Unified CAE Environment for Virtual Product Development
The world's first CAE system using the revolutionary Computational Parts™ technology, designed as a platform for a wide range of physical computing disciplines. MSC Software continues to expand the system's capabilities in phases. As a result, each new release delivers expanded performance for virtual product development.
MSC Apex transforms the approach to modeling and analysis, significantly reducing the time required to prepare computational models from days to hours. Therefore, engineers can complete more design iterations within the same timeframe. Innovative modeling techniques enable more detailed product design in the early stages, saving both time and money.
The platform includes two complementary modules — MSC Apex Modeler and MSC Apex Structures — allowing for model preparation, calculation run, and post-processing. In addition, both modules integrate seamlessly to support the full simulation workflow from geometry to results.
The geometric model of the investigated structure serves as input data for the finite element calculation. The key advantage of MSC Apex is the toolset for fast and efficient preparation of computational models, including shell models from imported CAD data. Specifically, the system supports import from UG-NX, Catia v4 and v5, Solidworks, Inventor, Pro/Engineer Wildfire and Creo, STEP, IGES, ACIS, and Parasolid.
In addition, the system provides tools for auxiliary geometric constructions based on standard planes or flat surfaces from the existing geometry. Geometry editing tools allow engineers to correct imported models to meet CAE analysis requirements. Furthermore, the direct geometry editing technology lets engineers evaluate immediately how model changes affect the finite element mesh construction.
The platform serves as an integrated solution that combines geometry creation, mesh generation, and simulation in a single environment. Therefore, teams significantly reduce model preparation time. Moreover, this approach eliminates the need to transfer data between separate modeling and analysis tools.
MSC Apex is a fully integrated and high-performance modeling and analysis environment built from the ground up. The software is equipped with direct geometry modeling technology (synchronous technologies) that meets the specific needs of CAE analysis. In addition, it provides automatic adaptation of the finite element mesh when the geometric model changes. All these capabilities together speed up CAE model preparation by up to 50 times.
The platform includes an integrated solver that lets users debug models from parts and assemblies interactively. As a result, productivity at the model preparation stage increases by up to 10 times. Furthermore, the system utilizes Computational Parts™ technology, enabling users to run both single parts and complex assemblies incrementally. In short, this allows faster variant studies of complex design structures and reduces overall project timelines.
