The aiassistant utility

Autodesk Moldflow CAD and simulation results data exists in binary or encrypted proprietary data files, making them difficult to read by Artificial Intelligence(AI) tools. To aid AI, we have provided an aiassistant tool to extract summary data from the geometry, material, machine, and simulation result sets.

The aiassistant utility extracts and processes numerical results from Autodesk Moldflow Insight output and result files on either a PC or a Linux machine. When running on a Linux machine, make sure you have added appropriate environment variables to your shell.

aiasssitant <study_name> [-output filePrefix] [-mes RAW]
   [-units_option SI|ENGLISH|METRIC]
   [-help]
   -model
   -material
   -machine
   -results
   -advice

This table lists the arguments that can be used with the aiassistant utility:

Argument	Description
study_name	The study file name
-output filePrefix	Type your project file in place of project_file to specify that the study name specified should be looked up in the specified project file.
-mes RAW	Write the screen output in raw mode.
-units system	Type one of (SI, METRIC, ENGLISH) in place of system, to use that unit system in the output.
-help	to print this help message.
-model	Only generate summary model and geomtric property data.
-material	Only generate summary material property data.
-machine	Only generate summary machine property data.
-results	Only generate result summary data.
-advice	Only generate result advice data.

Note: The -model,-material,-machine,-results, and -advice options can be used in combinations. If none of these options are specific all possible data is written

The aiassistant tool writes data in an ASCII .json file format

Summary of data provided by the aiassistant tool

Mesh type
Analysis sequence
Geometry information
- Part volume
- Cold runner volume
- Hot runner volume
Material information
- Manufacturer Name
- Trade Name
- Family abbreviation
- Material ID
- Mold temperature range(recommended)
- Mold surface temperature
- Melt temperature range(recommended)
- Melt temperature
- Maximum shear stress
- Maximum shear rate
- Fillers
Machine information
- Manufacturer name
- Trade name
- Machine ID
- Maximum machine clamp force
- Maximum machine injection pressure
- Machine screw diameter
- Maximum machine injection rate
- Maximum machine injection stroke
Result summary information
- For single frame results, such as "Fill time", we provide the minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation
- For time series (multi-frame) results such as "Pressure", we provide the minimum and maximum values across the whole result set (all frames).
- For deflection results only the Deflection:All effects result will be provided.
- For tensor results only the magnitude will be provided.
  
  Note: No data will be provided for:
  - Results like "Polymer Filled region" or "Grow From", as the data has no physical meaning.
  - Processes such as Design of Experiment or Molding Window
  - Results with more than one independent variable.
Advice information
- Automatically provide result advice information
  
  Note: Currently the advice is limited to basic Moldflow design principles for 3D thermoplastics.

Note: This utility will not provide access to all potential result data available within the geometry, analysis inputs and simulation results. You will need to use other tools like the Python API, or studyrlt to extract this data.
