Opening a part

Import a part into Autodesk Simulation DFM to investigate manufacturing the part using injection molding techniques.

  1. Click Application menu > Open. The Open File dialog appears
  2. Browse to where the model is stored.
  3. Click Open.
The part is displayed and analysed with a summary of the results appearing in the widget.
Note:
  • Autodesk Simulation DFM does not support multi-bodies. If the model does contains multi-bodies, only the first body will be displayed.
  • Each time a part is imported, it opens in its own window. To compare design modifications to the part, import both variations and view the results using the View tab > Windows pane options.
