Add study and plot notes

Learn how to add study notes and plot notes to an analysis result.

You will download two studies. The first study, cellphone_study_1 , has one injection location, and the second study, 2_Inject_loc , has two injection locations. A Fill+Pack analysis has been run on each model.

Note: Import the study files into a new Project. The study files are located typically at C:\Users\Public Documents\Autodesk\Moldflow Synergy xxxx\tutorial.

You can enter study notes and plot notes to highlight areas of interest. These notes will help your team members understand the results when they display them in Autodesk Moldflow Communicator.

  1. Open cellphone_study_1 from the study tasks pane.
  2. Click User Interface, View tab (View tab > Windows panel > User Interface) and select Notes from the drop-down menu, if it is not already open.
  3. Select the Study Note tab in the Notes panel.
  4. Enter information about this study, such as the number of injection locations used in the analyses.
  5. Select the Plot Note tab in the Notes panel.
  6. Display each of the following results, and enter a plot note explaining areas of interest within that result. For example, note where weld lines or air traps might be an issue. Use the following results:
    • Fill time
    • Pressure at injection location:XY Plot
    • Volumetric shrinkage at ejection
    • Time to reach ejection temperature
    • Air traps
    • Weld lines
  7. Repeat the steps above with the second study, 2_Inject_loc .
  8. Select 2_Inject_loc in the Project View pane.
  9. Select each of the results listed above, and indicate in the plot notes how the results change when you use two injection locations instead of one.
