Exporting results to an Moldflow Results file

You can create a results file to view in Autodesk Moldflow Communicator when you export the results in Moldflow Results file (*.mfr) format.

An Moldflow Criteria file (*.criteria) may be included in a results file. You can use this to limit the information displayed when comparing results to criteria in Autodesk Moldflow Communicator.

Analysis logs are marked for export by default. If you do not want to include analysis logs in the Moldflow Results file, right-click on Logs in the Study Tasks pane, and then select Unmark for export.

Note: Moldflow Results file can contain a maximum of 2 studies. You can export a maximum of 8 results per solver type from each study.

1. Right-click a result name in the list of results and select Mark for export. An asterisk appears after the result name. It has now been marked for export.
2. Repeat to mark additional results for export in the same way.
   Tip: You can export the same results from 2 studies by marking the results in each of the studies, and then using the Control or Shift key to select both studies. Continue with the steps below to create the Autodesk Moldflow Communicator results file with results from both studies.
3. Click (Results tab > Export and Publish panel > Moldflow Results).
4. Navigate to the location in which you want to save the results file.
5. In the File name text box, enter a name for the results file.
6. Select Moldflow Results file (*.mfr) in the Save as type drop-down list, and then click Save. A confirmation dialog appears to inform you the results were exported successfully.
7. Select the Include criteria file check box to include a criteria file. Select the Browse button to choose your criteria file, and then click Save. Criteria should be specifically entered for the study and results that you are exporting. The file you selected is displayed in the check box.
8. If you want to restrict the display of information in Autodesk Moldflow Communicator when comparing studies to criteria, select the Restrict MFR contents based on criteria check box. When a study is compared to a restrictive criteria file in Autodesk Moldflow Communicator, only the information that is specified in the criteria file is displayed.
9. Click OK to export the Moldflow Results file. A confirmation dialog appears to inform you the results were exported successfully.

Note: You can deselect all results that have been marked for export by right-clicking on any result, and then selecting Unmark All for Export.
