Personal Database Files

If you commonly use the same material for your analyses, you may store the nonlinear data in a personal database in Moldflow to avoid adding the data each time Advanced Material Exchange is used. The nonlinear data will be saved with the material when it is imported into Advanced Material Exchange.

To create a personal database file:

1. Add nonlinear data.
2. Click Material > Export > Export Material Data.
3. Save the file to your Moldflow Synergy materials directory (usually C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Simulation Moldflow Synergy 2018\data\udb).
4. Open a Moldflow model and select the material (Home > Molding Process Setup > Select Material).
5. Locate the .udb file you just saved.

Now this material has the Ramberg-Osgood parameters stored, so when you import your model into Advanced Material Exchange you won't need to add the nonlinear stress-strain data.
