MSC Apex
The World's First Computational Parts-Based CAE System.
Overview
MSC Apex is a modern CAE environment that streamlines the workflow from CAD to mesh to analysis. Its direct modeling capabilities allow for rapid geometry editing and simplification, while its generative nature ensures that changes to the geometry automatically update the mesh and analysis model. It is designed to be easy to learn and use, making simulation more accessible to engineers.
