Evotech CAE | MSC Apex Best Practice Series | Mid-Surfacing & Shell Meshing of Complex Geometries

We recently presented a webinar ‘Mid-Surfacing & Shell Meshing of Complex Geometries’ in conjunction with MSC Software, looking at best practices in MSC Apex.

This was focused on a typical aerospace component, a thin-walled machined shear panel, with the following,

- Multiple Features
- Variable Thickness
- Fastener Holes

We highlighted a couple of different approaches to maximise efficiency for this type of structural component,

Workflow 1 – ‘CAD to Results’
- Geometry Preparation (09:43)
- Mesh Definition (23:16)
- Attribution and Verification (34:26)

Workflow 2 – ‘Legacy FEA Model’
- Orphan Model Manipulation (49:00)

A Q&A session was held at the end of the webinar.

Hi,
Nice video. I have a few questions. When ı apply pressure, ı see it is under the loads section on the left top but ı do not see the arrows on my model. And ı cannot split element it draws rectangles not a line. Also the post process icon doesnt light up after running the scenario. only feedback ı got is bad element quality nothing more but still ı cannot continue to post process. How can ı solve these problems do you have any suggestion? I really need to solve these, your help matters a lot to me.
