MSC Apex

Ships and offshore floating structures are designed using many CAD tools, producing geometries that are usually unsuitable for immediate FE analysis. The manual conversion from CAD to mesh has been a tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming task. Using MSC Apex, complete structures can be idealized prior to the import into Sesam. Typically, from 2D or 3D CAD tools such as CATIA, AutoCAD, NX, Intergraph Smart 3D and open file standards like STEP and IGES.
