MSC SOFTWARE FROM CADENCE
MSC Apex – From CAD to FEA
MSC Apex brings geometry preparation, meshing and structural analysis into one environment, supporting a continuous workflow from CAD geometry to simulation results.
Discuss MSC Apex with usTechnical 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.

We help match Modeler, Structures and the required solver capabilities to your workflow. MSC Apex Generative Design is a separate product.
