Many users have requested a clear representation of the ram position from simulation results so they can better copy process settings into their machines. The API for all Insight users also has expanded command capabilities. This provides greater abilities for customization such as custom result plots, data export, and custom report generation. We have updated the permissions of Moldflow Insight Standard users, by opening up access to using the Application Programming Interface (API), or scripting capabilities, for both solver and user interface commands. This is especially nice when working with servers. The SCM for Insight users has even more control of setting up things like job queues, distributions, and even limiting the number of jobs a system can run. This is where we can dig into the new updates for Moldflow Insight/Synergy. The Simulation Compute Manager (SCM) is a browser-based application that has improved solving performance from the old Simulation Job Manager (SJM), while adding a greater ability to share job status and monitor jobs remotely. One of the most obvious updates that everyone will experience is the new job manager. Although it is meant for visually impaired to more easily see flow patterns and other results that can’t be easily seen through log data, anyone is able to take advantage of these (I really like the black>red>orange>yellow one – which one’s your favorite?). Speaking of results, the developers added cool new result viewing options through various preloaded legend color choices. These include more accurate handling of semi-crystalline materials and better convergence of mold temperature calculations in the cool analysis (especially where channels are close to the surface or part cavity). General solver enhancements have also been added for both Adviser and Insight. The solvers are now able to capture shallow and wide rib features better on the opposite face. The 3D sink mark results have improved accuracy over past versions of Moldflow. This is a new feature that displays an optimized pack/hold profile after running a Flow analysis, which provides more accurate pack/hold settings when transferring your simulation’s settings to the machine. Under the pack/hold settings in the process setting wizard, a new Automatic Pack/Hold Profile option is available.

There has been no changes to the solvers there, just a name that better represents the overall process. There have been some minor name changes, such as the Fill analysis now being referred to as Flow analysis. We’ve removed outdated materials, and continue to support importing your own materials to make sure you have the most accurate representations of your final product. As with each release, we have added additional material grades totaling about 11,500 thermoplastic materials. If you want just a quick overview, take a look at the What’s New in Moldflow 2021 overview video (links to YouTube), that’s under 3 minutes long to give you a high level overview of the new release.įirst we’ll take a look at what is new in both Moldflow Adviser and Moldflow Insight/Synergy. With the extensive testing, we were able to successfully implement many of those features into this commercial release of Moldflow! Here’s a breakdown for some of the new things you’ll see within Moldflow software. Some users were able to participate earlier this year in the Moldflow Insight & Synergy 2021 Beta program to help the developers test many of the great new features and functionalities within this latest release. On October 22, 2020, the latest Autodesk Moldflow Insight, Moldflow Synergy, and Moldflow Adviser releases became available for subscribers!
