Autodesk® Moldflow® 2012
Autodesk® Moldflow® simulation software provides injection molding simulation tools for validating and optimizing plastic parts, injection molds, and the injection molding process.
The software guides designers, mold makers, and engineers through simulation setup and results interpretation to show how changes to wall thickness, gate location, material, and geometry affect manufacturability. Autodesk Moldflow offers geometry support ranging from thin-walled parts to thick and solid applications and helps you to experiment with "what-if" scenarios before finalizing a design.
Autodesk Moldflow 2012 software features
several new simulation capabilities, increased interoperability
with other Autodesk products, and major improvements to the
solution accuracy and performance.
Real-time injection-molding simulation functionality is a
ground-breaking new capability, which enables dynamic evaluation of
a range of plastic part design alternatives in a fraction of the
time it takes to perform a standard simulation.
Geometry Modification
With Autodesk Moldflow 2012, you can use Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion
to modify or simplify geometry more quickly and easily, helping to
optimize plastic part designs for manufacturability and quality as
fast as possible.
Real-Time Injection
Molding SimulationWith Autodesk Moldflow 2012, you can
dynamically evaluate a range of potential plastic part designs in a
fraction of the time it takes to perform a standard simulation,
helping you pinpoint the best design more quickly.
Fiber Orientation in Plastic Part Designs
More accurately
predict the orientation of short and long glass fibers, which are
critical to the overall performance, shape, strength, and weight of
plastic parts.
Transient Cooling of Injection Molds
Determine temperature
variation in an injection mold during a plastic injection molding
cycle. Predict the number of cycles required from production
startup until the mold reaches a stable temperature.
Design Optimization
With Autodesk® Moldflow® Insight
2012 software, the Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities are
expanded to all mesh types, molding processes, and simulation
tools-helping to better optimize the design and manufacturing of
injection-molded plastic parts.
