Material manufacturers can now hide confidential material formulation information, specific material characteristics, or model coefficients, for materials stored in the databases. The data is included in the databases and used in the calculations, but is represented in the databases by the word Confidential.
Manufacturers make the data confidential using the Autodesk® Moldflow® Material Data Classifier, which is downloaded from the Autodesk website.
- Individual fields
- Tables
- Drop-down lists
If even a single entry in a table is listed as confidential, the entire table is shown as Confidential.
If model coefficients are confidential, then data plotting is disabled.
All confidential material information is listed in the analysis log as Confidential.
