Description

GMTO has adopted MSC Apex to create a unified CAE environment that supports the virtual development of products, particularly aimed at ensuring that the colossal telescope can endure earthquakes in Chile while contributing to our understanding of the cosmos. This platform offers a user-friendly experience that many engineers find captivating, often describing it as ‘addictive’ due to its game-like qualities. MSC Apex features a structured package that facilitates scenario definition and result analysis, alongside integrated solver methodologies. What sets this solution apart is its innovative combination of computational components and assembly technology within a generative framework, allowing for both interactive and incremental analyses. The seamless integration of the user interface with solver methods empowers users to validate their finite element models to ensure they are ready for solving. Additionally, users can initiate a series of solver checks on specific parts and assemblies, with the results and diagnostics clearly presented in the Analysis Readiness panel, enhancing the overall efficiency of the validation process. This capability not only streamlines workflow but also boosts user confidence in their models before proceeding with extensive simulations.
