  • 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…

  • Moving geometry and/or mesh across parts and assemblies.

    Is this action possible with drag and drop only? Is a kind of "move to..." command available?

  • Is it possible to copy/transform mesh (and/or geometry) and the discrete ties, BCs, spans attached to the mesh?

  • Why the analysis behavior does not align with the applied loads and boundary conditions?

    A single force acts on the system in the +X direction, with an X-direction constraint provided by the fixed edge of the bottom plate and pin contact between the two cylinders, as shown in the images below. If there is no load acting on the system…

  • Guidelines, examples, tips for going Apex to Patran to Nastran or Apex to Nastran?

    Are there any published guides or examples for using Apex as a pre-processor to Nastran or a pre-pre-processor to Patran? I'm not finding much detail on what Apex does and doesn't write when exporting a Nastran BDF from an Apex model.

    I need to change the work space that Apex uses to store files, like projects and autosaves, anyone knows how to do this?

  • What are good loading conditions for a yacht model?

    I would like to know few loading conditions for a Large Yacht model. With it we will create a case study for a very realistic yacht model How to put a particular sea state load +wind+loading of cargo, engine, etc What would be a good load case…

  • Apex Archives

    Here's a list of the answered questions that you can find in the Archive Tab under Apex. The new forum should be a place to easily ask and answer questions and then search engine to look for someone else that asked the same question .. with answers! …

  • Using Topics & Navigating this Community

    In traditional 'forum' tools the owners decide upon categories and then users post into the appropriate category. That's nice and it works. This forum tool has a different approach, like so: create few categories initially and let users define new tags…

  • Is this an MSC internal discussion board or is it open to the wider community?

    Just wondering whether there are internal and external versions of the forum, as there were in the past-- and if so, which one this is.

  • Insufficient memory Issue with Apex

    I am dealing with insufficient memory issues for any model having more than 2.5 M solid elements in Apex. It has nothing to do with my workstation as it has 512 GB ram and 10TB for the scratch folder! Unfortunately, this issue has not been addressed by…

  • Is it possible to create a group for connectors?

    Is there a way to create a group that contains connectors? I would like to be able to select only the connector elements for element force output request but the group tool appears to only allow selection of geometry or mesh, not connectors.

  • What controls connector order in model tree?

    I've tried renaming and renumbering the connector ID's. Still, Apex orders the connectors however it wants. Seems to be tied to an internal number that isn't obvious or accessible to me. It's odd now though that, in the attached image, the…

  • APEX and Windows 11 22H2 BEWARE

    APEX works relatively well under Windows 11, but 22H2 causes systematic crashes while using the Right Mouse Button in APEX. I know, I know, Windows 11 is not supported, but it's going to have to at some point since I've lost hope of ever seeing…

  • Linear Transient Analysis in SOL400

    If I want to perform a Linear transient analysis in SOL400. Which analysis type should I use in ANALYSIS deck? Because I use MSC Apex I can not perfrom SOL109

  • Hello everyone, I am trying a non-linear transient analysis for my thesis project. I have tried different setups for my model but it does not work.

    My task is to compare my model with the test data. I have 6 plates whose dof I can control by using general constraint. In these 6 plates for now 5 are completely constrained. One of them is constrained only in (Z, Rx, Ry, Rz), so the plate is free to…

  • Change default plot window title text color/font size?

    I'd like to change the default window title text color used when the white post background is chosen. Currently, it's gray and a too light for good screenshot use in reports. It's too tedious to change it for every window created. The title…
