Autodesk Simulation Moldflow 2018 R2 Product Line

Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 2D and 3D design and entertainment software for the media and entertainment markets, announced the release of Moldflow 2018 R2 Product Line, it's optimize and validate your injection molding process.

New Features in Insight 2018.2

The following features are new with this release:

- New flatness and roundness optimization criteria
Use Optimization criteria to assess the effects of warpage on the quality of the molded part. Include optimization criteria in a DOE or Parametric Study analysis to see how critical areas on your part change, with changing processing conditions.
- Center line extraction
Manually modelling cooling channels is a lengthy task for even relatively simple cooling systems. The center line extraction tool simplifies the process.
- Multiple dispensing paths for underfill encapsulation
Simulate multiple dispensing paths, with dynamic dispensing for underfill encapsulation.
- Warp analysis for Resin Transfer Molding
In addition to Flow (Fill+Pack), you can now include a Warp analysis in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM).

Autodesk Moldflow 2018. Autodesk Moldflow software provides fast, accurate, and flexible plastic injection molding simulation tools to help CAE analysts, designers, and engineers validate and optimize plastic parts, injection molds, and the injection molding process. With access to over 9,500 grades of commercial plastics and accurate material data, manufacturers can evaluate various material options. Autodesk Moldflow supports direct data exchange with most CAD software tools. Moldflow’s calculated structural properties can improve the accuracy of structural analysis products including Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical. Companies worldwide use Autodesk Moldflow to make great products by reducing the need for costly physical prototypes, avoiding potential manufacturing defects, and getting innovative products to market faster.

Autodesk Moldflow has features and tools that allow you to:

- Validate and optimize plastic part and mold designs before manufacturing increasing efficiency, minimizing reliance on physical prototypes, reducing costs, and improving product quality.
- Optimize the position of the gates and runner designs to optimize product quality and minimize costs.
- Evaluate plastic part and injection mold designs to help control shrinkage and warpage based on grade-specific materials and processing parameters. You can output accurately compensated models for tooling or further geometry modification.
- Calculate the effect of fiber orientation, in fiber re-enforced plastics, on product shrinkage and warpage and make these effects available to structural analysis products to evaluate the performance of the molded part.
- Optimize the layout of the cooling system and evaluate the impact of different mold materials to improve product quality and reduce the cycle time. Moldflow Insight supports state of the art cooling technologies, including rapid-temperature cycling and conformal cooling technologies.
- Optimize the injection molding process with Simulation Moldflow Insight’s Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities.
- Use Moldflow Insight to simulate the standard thermoplastic and thermoset molding processes, as well as many variations (e.g. two-shot overmolding, injection compression molding, compression molding, bi-injection molding, etc.)
- Simulate with confidence using precise material data on more than 9,000 grade-specific plastics. Get additional materials tested, expert data-fitting services, and extensive material databases with the Simulation Moldflow Plastics Labs.
