CSV data for shell elements is generated using in house tools and we wish to visualise this in Apex. Currently this can be done in Patran by converting the csv to a neutral file, or in Hyperview by converting the csv to a hwascii file. Is there a simple…
Hi All,
I am trying to merge two components in Apex using the Node Merge tool, one is made of shell elems and the other one is made of beams. The shell body has got RBE2s attached to it. When I merge the nodes the RBE2s disappear with no reason…
Hello!
I am using Apex 2022.2. I created a group (using group tool) with parts and meshes and I would like to export it to Nastran. Is it possible?

The new Apex 2021.4 introduced non glued contact but seems that the only way to use it is with SOL 400. While it is possible to solve in SOL 101.
There is a way to export a deck from Apex, for non glued contact in SOL101?
Hello!
I would like to write a script which does following task:
1. Takes a solid from the active part
2. finds all 2D circles in the solid or edges which make circle
3. fills those circles
4. create a node in the center…
Just an FYI that APEX 2022.2 isn't going to display color plots in post-processing while using AMD Radeon Pro VII, with the latest driver (Adrenalin 22.7.1).
The VII Pro is an ISV Certified card, not to confuse with the VII, which is a gaming…
I am using a 2D mesh to simulate stresses in a rotating frame, with cross bracing.
The bracing components are constrained using "Mesh Independent Ties", they have thickness associated with them, and material properties of steel.
When I run the…
I have about 200 RBE that need to have CTE added, and the current UI is lacking the ability to modify several RBE at a time (deficiency has already reported), so it is a clicking festival... Before I embark into writing a script on my own, would anyone…
Is there a way to refine internal 3D mesh elements? I can correct mesh imperfections with seeding on the surface of a part, but a method for internal corrections escapes me. Is there a workflow or process for this?
While dragging a vertex or an edge of geometry/fe model iam unable to locate the exact location of refernce edge as its not getting highlighted during the vertex/edge drag operation.
Is there any alterative to highlight the reference edge during…
Hi, everyone
I am trying to extract data from an excel spreadsheet with a macro script. I have imported xlrd into the script but Apex showed me the following message:
anybody knows how to install openpyxl?
Thanks
Just installed Apex 2021.3 and try tu run external on nastran 2020 a previous model with bonded contact.
The new Apex is now tailored for nastran 2021.3 and the parameter on the BCONTACT CARD aren't any more "MASTERS" and "SLAVES" but are "PRIMARY…
I have 2 hotspots of interest in my model that I would like to refine the mesh a bit on. How can I do this with a 3D part in Apex?
Thanks!

I have "show only" for the selected partitions of a 3D piece. How can I create a cylindrical split using the inner circular curves? Alternatively, how could I "imprint" one curve onto the opposite side so I can use a mesh seed to get the 2.5D mesher to…
Dear colleagues
I am working on a meshed FEM model with HEXA, shell and beam elements.
I need to get the weight of the entire FEM mesh.
In the release of MSC APEX 2021, I have only found a utility that shows me the weight of a solid (which…
Hello,
I would like to install MSC Apex 2021 using the licence (floating licence) available on another computer which operates as a server on the same network. I have created the same environment variable both on the server and on the client…
I am new to the Apex, so please bear with me. Once a sketch of a part is created and exited out from, how can this sketch be modified? When using the "Edit Sketch" tool, I am not able to modify the original sketch of a part.
I need to move nodes from connectors to create 0-length springs while still maintaining the CBUSH CS automatically created by APEX from a standard hole-to-hole connector creation. It doesn't look like APEX 2021 is able to move nodes, is there a script…
