Integrated CAE Environment for Virtual Product Development

An advanced CAE specific environment simplifying critical CAE modeling and processing by eliminating many unnecessary features

The comprehensiveness of MSC Apex is in the unified CAE Environment that it offers for engineers to accomplish Virtual Product Development in lesser time with accuracy, reduced effort and greater efficiency, unlike traditional CAE tools that require multiple steps and considerable amount of time to simulate complicated CAE modeling and processing.

MSC Apex tools are multi-purpose, versatile, easy to use and learn. MSC Apex Modeler helps in Direct Modeling and Meshing, allowing engineers to easily create and edit geometry interactively.

MSC Apex is enriched with multiple advanced features and yet engineers can use it without any specialized training. The interactive user interface comes with numerous learning aids ranging from tutorials, video-based documentation, workflow and at-mouse instructions which help maximize productivity. This unified toolset of MSC Apex allows analysts to experiment with mode contributions and develop design solutions to mitigate and control structural vibrations, without excessive modeling changes and re-analysis.

Key Modules

MSC Apex Modeler

MSC Apex Modeler

A CAE specific direct modeling and meshing solution, MSC Apex Modeler is effective in streamlining CAD clean-up, simplification and meshing workflow. The solution provides the user with interactive and accomplished tools that are easy to learn and use. The Direct Modeling feature allows users to create and edit geometry interactively. This feature is complemented with built in meshing technology. By using any of the Direct Modeling or Geometry Clean-up/Repair tools, the mesh can easily be regenerated for the models that have been already meshed and require further geometry modification.

To ensure that MSC Apex is convenient for the users to learn and use, it is designed to have multi-function tools. It also features many learning aids such as tutorials, video based documentation, workflow and at-mouse instructions which can greatly enhance the user’s productivity.

MSC Apex Structures

MSC Apex Structures is a comprehensive and generative, structural analysis solution designed for engineers and analysts. This add-on tool helps expand features and functions in MSC Apex Modeler with capabilities for linear structural analysis. It provides an effective under interface for scenario definition and results post-processing along with integrated solver methods. The unique combination of computational parts and assemblies technology with a generative framework empowers interactive and incremental analysis. The integration of the user interface with solver methods gives the engineers a unique ability to validate that the FEM models are solver ready. The Incremental Validation significantly reduces the time taken by the traditional tools where pre/post processor and solver are separate. MSC Apex Structures also provides a frequency response analysis type and a specialized results exploration toolset to enable engineers to improve the vibration behavior of structures.
