MSC Apex GD
Highly Automated Optimization
MSC Apex Generative Design empowers engineers to automatically create lightweight, manufacturable structures optimized for performance. By combining generative design-driven geometry with a high degree of process automation, it reduces design time from weeks to hours. It allows designers to explore multiple concepts early in the process, accelerating innovation while bridging the gap between design and manufacturing.
MSC Apex Generative Design combines topology optimization, simulation automation, and direct manufacturing readiness into one intuitive workflow—empowering engineers to design, validate, and export high-quality, printable parts faster than ever.
Smarter, Faster, and More Sustainable Product Development
Capture every structural detail with adaptive, ultra-high-resolution optimization.
Automatically create high-quality meshes without manual input.
Accelerate the design process by reducing iterations and manual rework.
Ensure homogeneous stress distribution for maximum structural efficiency.
Retransfer optimized meshes to CAD as NURBS geometry for smooth workflows.
Generate fully feasible, printable geometries with almost no manual postprocessing.
Reduce material and energy consumption through lightweight and efficient designs.
Democratize optimization—accessible to all engineers, regardless of expertise.
High-Performance Designs in Just Hours
Advanced topology algorithms and automated workflows enable fast exploration of optimized design concepts. Balance performance and manufacturability early in development to enhance product efficiency.
Existing CAD data can be imported directly, including common CAD formats and proprietary formats, including complex assemblies. Models can also be created from scratch within the software.
Geometry tools allow manipulation of imported data for optimization. Specialized functions support preparation of complex assemblies. Loads and boundary conditions are defined to complete setup.
The software automatically generates a mesh and starts the optimization run. Geometry is smoothed and updated in each iteration to produce feasible and usable designs.
Generated meshes can be transferred to NURBS based CAD file formats for use in standard CAD CAM workflows without manual reconstruction.
