You can run a simulation using part inserts made of materials not found in the Moldflow database, if you enter the material data manually.
This option is available for 3D mesh types only.
To simulate a part insert made of a material that is not in a Moldflow database, you must have the following data about the material available to enter:
The mechanical properties of the orthotropic material are measured relative to the principal axes. E1 is the Elastic modulus in the 1st principal direction; Alpha1 is the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in the first principal direction.
In addition to the mechanical properties of the material, you are required to enter values into the First Principal axis and Second Principal axis fields at the bottom of the dialog. For every element of the part insert, map the principal axis (used to measure the mechanical properties of the material) to the global coordinate system of the model. If the insert is a flat rectangle, all the elements will have the same values for the first and second principal axes. For part insert elements that are outside of this plane, map their coordinates to the global coordinate system, select all the elements that share the new first and second principal axes and enter the information in the dialog a second time. Repeat the process until all the part insert elements have been mapped.
