MSC Software Corp. today announced the fifth release of MSC Apex, the company\u2019s award winning next generation CAE platform. The MSC Apex Eagle release introduces:<\/p>\n
– The fifth release of MSC Apex Modeler \u2013 a CAE Specific direct modeling and meshing solution that accelerates the CAD clean-up, simplification, and meshing workflow.<\/p>\n
-The third release of MSC Apex Structures \u2013 an add-on to MSC Apex Modeler which expands MSC Apex to a fully integrated and generative structural analysis solution.<\/p>\n
The new Eagle release delivers innovative solutions for modeling and validating complex assemblies with the introduction of new part representations and connection types. These new features are all fully integrated in the MSC Apex generative framework that supports the automatic regeneration of simulation results when changes are made to part geometry or assembly layout.<\/p>\n
Support for shell element (2D) and tetrahedral and hexahedral meshing (3D) is now completed with support of discrete mass and rotary inertia (0D), as well as beam elements (1D). New connection types include rigid links, springs, and mesh dependent tie connections, which extend existing mesh independent glue. With Eagle, MSC Apex users now create much richer assemblies to support the rapid conceptual design of sub-assembly and vehicle level assemblies. Chassis frames for automotive, reinforced fuselage and wings structures for aerospace, welded assembly structure for shipbuilding, large fastened assemblies for heavy machinery and equipment companies, are a few examples.<\/p>\n
