In today’s fast-paced engineering environments, simulation teams need tools that accelerate model preparation without compromising accuracy. This hands-on
workshop introduces MSC Apex as a modern, intuitive alternative for geometry cleanup, defeaturing, and high-quality meshing—designed to enhance or complement traditional tools like Patran/Nastran and other pre/post-processors.
Through expert-led sessions and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to import and fix
messy CAD, idealize geometry for analysis, generate robust meshes and set up
analysis runs with little to no effort. Whether you’re preparing models for
structural, thermal, or dynamic simulations, MSC Apex enables faster setup and
fewer solver errors downstream.
You can expect to look forward to the following:
