Additional improvements to the Injection Molding and Compression: overmolding and Preconditioning for Compression Molding are also included in this release. Our simulation capabilities have expanded to support Multi-Barrel Injection molding for thermoplastics, which is commonly used to produce very large parts using multiple, independently controlled injection units.This can take one step out of the normal workflow, making the product easier to learn for new users. While this provides Moldflow users with superb information, the power for the future of Moldflow is to make engineering. It’s been common to apply one set of processing conditions, to a nominally designed part, with ideal material information. Users can now setup their analysis on a CAD model and start the analysis without first going through a meshing step. Autodesk Moldflow has for too long been known as a simulation product for a single moment in time.This additional functionality allows users to export material properties, fiber orientation, and residual stress/strain information from Autodesk Moldflow to better understand the as-manufactured state of a component. Helius PFA will now be available to customers with Moldflow Insight Ultimate on Subscription.Support for Design Optimization workflows on Linux machines has been expanded, which will help those that have Linux clusters to make further use of their Linux system and make use of the powerful design optimization options we brought to market in the 2017.2 release.For a detailed overview of what’s new, please refer to the “What’s New in 2018.0” section in the online help, but here are the key highlights for the 2018.0 release. New versions of Autodesk Moldflow will now be released on a quarterly basis, and the landing page offers a convenient way for users gain a high-level understanding of new features. The new Autodesk Moldflow Insight 2018.0 release is here, along with a new product landing page.
