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.
This workshop is designed for simulation professionals who want to streamline workflows, minimize manual effort, and significantly boost productivity. In just one day, you’ll gain practical, actionable techniques that you can immediately apply within your team – no matter which solver you use.
You can expect to look forward to the following:
