In some analysis types you can create your own C functions for the solver to call when it needs to calculate a property, such as the viscosity of the melt during a filling analysis. This gives you the flexibility to develop your own material models where the supplied native Moldflow models are inadequate.

| 3D Flow | Fill+Pack |
| 3D Flow | Cool (FEM) when Flow analysis on every iteration has been selected in the Cool (FEM) Solver settings of the Process Settings Wizard |
Using this API requires you to be able to compile a shared library object and to copy it into the binary directory of your Insight installation. You may need to have administrator privileges on this computer in order to do this. If you are sending the analysis to a remote computer then you may need administrator privileges on that machine too.
Alternatively, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the installed product directory, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight 20xx, then into the help directory. The API reference is available in solverapi.chm.
