Download Product Sheet MSC Apex Structures is an integrated module of a Finite Element Analysis solver, which provides users access to linear (and very soon, nonlinear) structural analysis. Currently, Apex supports four types of linear analysis, including linear statics, linear buckling, normal modes, and frequency response analysis….
MSC Apex Structures is a package with an intuitive user interface for scenario definition, analysis readiness check, and integrated solver. The integration of the user interface with solvers gives users a unique ability to interactively and incrementally validate and solve FEA models. This Incremental Validation and Solution philosophy is a creative and intelligent revolution to the very time-consuming traditional FEA workflow where pre/post processor and solver are separate.With continuously extended supports of “MSC Apex – MSC Nastran – MSC Apex” workflow, users can pick the best scenario according to different design stages and tasks:
Scenario 1 – External MSC Nastran solutionMany existing MSC Nastran uses will determine to use MSC Nastran as an external solver, due to their in-house process and/or client requirements.
Scenario 2 – Integrated MSC Apex Structures solution to support external MSC Nastran solutionThe integrated solver can be used for incremental building and validation of FEA models as they are developed. Once verified as working representations, the run-ready FEA models can be solved externally with MSC Nastran, for subsequent result exploration through MSC Apex.
Scenario 3 – Embedded MSC Apex Structures solutionIn the case where an MSC Nastran solution is not mandatory, the user can take advantage of the full capability of the embedded MSC Apex solver.
