Importing a surface model from Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight

You can import a Dual Domain surface model file that has been exported from Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight software.

Selecting the Surface mesh for AMA (*.amm) file type allows you to import the model as prepared in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight.

  1. Open an existing project or create a new project.
  2. Click Import (Home tab > Import panel > Import), or right-click in the Project View pane and select Import, Standard toolbar Import.
  3. Click Browse, Standard toolbar Browse, and then select Surface mesh for AMA (*.amm) from the Files of type list, navigate to the location where the desired file is stored, and click Open. If you have recently imported a *.amm model, it can be selected from the Recently imported models list.
  4. Click Next. The Import Wizard-Units dialog appears. The units and dimensions of the model are displayed.
    Note: Because the *.amm surface model is imported as prepared in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight, you cannot change these values.
  5. Click Next. The Import wizard-Advanced options dialog appears. The Check suitability option is selected by default. The program examines the model and determines whether it is suited for Dual Domain or 3D analysis. You can choose not to check suitability.
    Note: Because the *.amm surface model is imported as prepared in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight, the Automatic cleanup option is not available.
  6. Click Next. The Import wizard-Processing dialog appears, and an initial check of the model takes place.
  7. Read the Advice and select the Analysis type for your model.
    Note: You can view the processing log by selecting the Show Log checkbox.
  8. Click Finish.
The model appears in the Model pane.
