We recently guest presented an MSC Software webinar on ‘MSC Apex for Adams’ (see below for the full video recording), which covered the following value propositions/workflows;
Value Proposition 1 – “Apex makes it easier to generate Adams flex body data (MNF) irrespective of user background”
Workflow 1 – Geometry to Adams ‘Modal Neutral File’
- Import CAD geometry and develop FEA representation in MSC Apex
- Define Adams assembly interface points and generate Modal Neutral File (*.MNF)
- Update existing geometry definition or automatically update with new CAD data
Value Proposition 2 – “Apex makes it easier to map Adams/Car loads onto structural FEA model”
Workflow 2 – Adams/Car Model Access and Results Post-Processing
- Accessing Adams/Car model/results data
- Geometry association and interrogation of Adams/Car result data
- Loads mapping onto structural FEA model in a single environment
We also gave a brief overview of the soon-to-be-released Adams Modeler interface, which is based on the contemporary MSC Apex GUI.
