Tutorial

This tutorial introduces you to Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator. Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator is an application that lets you visualize results of Autodesk Simulation Moldflow analysis projects, compare results from studies in a project, and quantify results compared to specified criteria.

In this tutorial, you will examine results of a project to evaluate part warpage. The results demonstrate how modifying the cooling channel layout affects the part warpage due to differential cooling.

Note: Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator reads the following types of files: Moldflow Results file (*.mfr) and Moldflow Criteria file (*.criteria). These must be created by a licensed user of Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser or Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight software.

Tutorial duration: Approximately 15 minutes.

  1. Visualizing results of a study
    In this task, you will learn how to open an Moldflow Results file (*.mfr) and visualize results of a single study.
  2. Comparing results of two studies
    In this task, you will learn how to visually compare results of two studies included in the same result file (project).
  3. Quantifying results against criteria
    In this task, you will learn how to quantify results of studies that are included in the same Moldflow Results file (project) compared to specified criteria that are saved in a Moldflow Criteria file (*.criteria).
  4. Working with Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser results
    In this task you will be introduced to some of the results and summary information available from analyses in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser. The analysis sequence in this example is Cooling Quality+Fill+Pack+Sink Marks+Warp.
