Solver Version tab

The Moldflow Insight 2023 Update 1 release gives you the option to emulate the solver outcomes of Moldflow Insight 2021.2. This might be useful if you have switched to a Named User subscription of Moldflow Insight 2023 but need to finish a project you started in Moldflow Insight 2021.2. Named User subscription is not available for Moldflow software versions before Moldflow Insight 2023.

NOTE You will miss many accuracy improvements and code quality and stability enhancements if you chose to emulate an older solver version.

The Solver Version tab of the solver parameters dialog allows you to choose the solver version to emulate:

Dialog elementsExplanation
Solver VersionOptions are:
  • Current

    This is the default setting. The analysis will include all the latest accuracy and quality improvements. Moldflow Insight 2023 Update 1 analyses give numerical results which are identical to the Moldflow Insight 2023 software version.

  • 2021.2

    The analysis will emulate the numerical outcomes of the Moldflow Insight 2021.2 software version. This includes automatically using the 2021.2 version shrinkage model coefficients for the CRIMS and Residual Strain shrinkage models.

NOTES

  • You will see a confirmation message in the solver log when you chose to emulate the Moldflow Insight 2021.2 solver outcomes.
  • Some analysis types have no changes in numerical outcome between the Moldflow Insight 2021.2 and 2023 Update 1 versions. You will not see the solver version option for these analyses. Such analyses include the Gate Location, Molding Window, Process Optimization, Runner Balance, and Underfill Encapsulation analyses for Midplane and Dual Domain.
  • This option has no effect on meshing or mesh aggregation outcomes.
  • The option to emulate Moldflow Insight 2021.2 solver outcomes will not exist in future software versions after Moldflow Insight 2023 Update 1.
