Using Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator you can examine 3D models of a part, color-coded to indicate analysis results such as fill time, warpage, part temperature and density.
Results are normally color-coded, with red showing the maximum value for the displayed result, and blue showing the minimum. For reference, a rainbow scale appears in the model window showing the range of result values.
Some results can be animated over time to show how the result varies during the molding cycle. For example, you can animate the Fill Time result to see the part being filled.
Some results can be overlaid simultaneously on the model view. For example, you can see the severity of weld lines by overlaying Weld Lines and Temperature results, to see both where the weld lines occur and what temperature the melt was at when they formed.
You can define a cutting plane through a part to view a cross-section of a result through the part's thickness.
All of the results for an analysis are contained in an Moldflow Results file (*.mfr). This file is a package of up to two studies, featuring the same or different models under different sets of processing conditions.
If an Moldflow Results file contains two studies, you can compare them visually, side by side, to help you to choose which model or processing conditions produce the better part.
If you have production criteria for your part, such as a maximum cycle time, a part weight tolerance, or a maximum machine clamping force, you can display these criteria in a table next to the actual values from the studies in an Moldflow Results file.
