Why are the menus is the getting started movie not as in the software?

I have the version 2024.1.1 modeler and structure. In the getting started movie (geometry creation and linear static analysis) they can assign the material to a part, I can only create the material and give it through 3D properties of the elements. The loads menu is also different, The force and moment in the movie (linear static analysis) are one menu, for me they are two different menus. Why?
  • That was old way of material assignment, when Apex was use to come with Integrated solver.
    After v2023 Apex becomes more Nastran friendly, which comes with support for all Nastran solutions and bulk data entries. So approach has to change to incorporate Non-linear materials and properties.
    In latest release you can see new approach, older one is no longer available. However, the latest approach is being modified to reduce modelling time. you can expect the changes in coming release.
