Please describe how to move the manipulator on a given point or coordinate system for a rotation.
Edvard, that was great tutorial. Thanks you a lot!
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.
Why are you typing 2.5mm under Diameter for a M5 Bolt…?
Great video Steff!!👍👍
Hi, Is there anyway to get op2 file from msc apex??
Yes, Amin. Apex supports 'an end to end' MSC Nastran workflow, normally based around HDF5, but can also handle OP2. You'd need to export BDF from Apex, change the PARAM,POST card to request OP2, solve using MSC Nastran, then read the OP2 back into Apex.
@@evotechcaeltd1583 thanks again for your time and answer, I'm new to this software, can you tell me how to change PARAM?
Hi Steff, how do you get to import Car results if the option under "event" is disabled?
Ok now make a website where I can input data into a cad scripting applet which can present a rendering to be later verified by a engineer before building. Then people can build their frame on their own.
What’s your budget? 😁
@@evotechcaeltd1583 I would use SCAD for the cad scripting software. Already ordered a ti frame. Sorry for telln ya 'what to do'. If you don't do it first canyon will. I mean the idea is a succession of what they already do. Yet with additive ti it's possible. You just need a web develóper that can run scad in a command line interface which I'm pretty sure it does, and then import the return files into the generated webpage. Additive ti is expensive to get the machines too so I hope you can build the cnc fixture in house and capitalize/sell your ability. Gcode cnc controllers are ubiquitous. My uncle does additive ti. It's a million dollar investment (as of 5-10 years ago) but yet that's not reflected in parts and labor.
Could it be possible to associate an imported mesh to an imported CAD (2D or 3D geometry) as it can be done on Patran?
Yes. Apex creates a faceted surface/solid directly from the imported mesh, which is associated automatically.
@@evotechcaeltd1583 thanks a lot for the tip! I will try as soon as I can
This is the reason MSC APEX is good software for meshing, I hope Indian companies will use this software.
Nice video!
Great feature on the MSC Apex. Thanks for all these small MSC Quick Bites your are making
Hi! thanks for these videos. Just a note, I was trying to recreate this and found that I had to convert these recorded macros to functions in order to execute them automatically whenever I create a new project. This is not explained in the vid and would be good to include this.
Hi Steff, it is still a bit unclear to me how to use the interface where you can view the old and new parts to replace. If you could explain that form in a bit more detail it would be appreciated.
Could it be exported into STP format !? And to have straight and smooth surfaces !?
Yes, STEP export is straight-forward. Complex geometry (known as 'NURBS') is supported too. More info at our site, evotechcae.com/learn-apex/
@@evotechcaeltd1583 I’m not sure if the exporter STP will be merged smooth surface like flat plans and curves or segments like the mesh !! Could you please confirm
‘NURBS’ is the smoothed geometry derived from the original faceted form, so you’ll be fine...
@@evotechcaeltd1583 thank you I’ll try
@@evotechcaeltd1583 is it suitable organic shapes !
Hello there. I study with MSC Apex 2020 Student Version. When I try to define material's Poisson's Ratio, there is an error named "is not a numeric". I just type "0.3" as Possion's Ratio. How can I solve this problem. Thank you.
Hi Mustafa. The message is pretty clear - just make sure you got no spaces or characters in there. Hope this helps.
@@evotechcaeltd1583 Thank you for your answer. I am sure that I have no spaces or characters in there. I just type "0.3" or similar options but have the same error.
