Technical Product Overview

MSC Apex Modeler and MSC Apex Structures support the preparation, validation and assessment of finite element models.

Geometry preparation

Clean up, simplify and directly edit CAD geometry.

Finite element meshing

Prepare components and assemblies using interactive meshing tools.

Model validation

Progressively check meshes, materials, connections and boundary conditions for analysis readiness.

MSC Nastran integration

Run structural analyses using integrated MSC Nastran solution capabilities.

Structural dynamics

Analyse natural modes and frequency responses, and assess modal contributions.

Results comparison

Visualise deformation and stress, and compare different analysis scenarios.

Where is MSC Apex used?

  • FEA model preparation

    Turn CAD data into analysis-ready component and assembly models.

  • Structural assessment

    Investigate stiffness, deformation and structural stability.

  • Vibration analysis

    Identify critical modes and compare the dynamic behaviour of design variants.
