OVERVIEW

Project Scandium Technology Preview 3 for Autodesk^® Moldflow^® Insight 2012 software extends the simulation capabilities of the first technology preview by offering new capabilities to try out and provide feedback.

These capabilities and extensions of the free* technology preview include:

• Transient Mold Temperatures - simulate mold temperature fluctuations during the molding cycle or over many cycles of production start-up. Now available for 3D Thermoset molding and Dual Domain Thermoplastic molding (mold cooling only).

• Wall Slip - simulate the filling process taking into account a wall slip criteria where plastic no longer sticks to the wall.

• Long Fiber Breakage - calculation of the resultant fiber length of long fiber composite materials as a result of breakage during the filling process.

• Fiber Orientation for 3D Thermoset molding processes - improved warpage predictions for molded parts made with fiber filled thermoset materials.

• Crystallization Modeling - improved modeling of the solidification of semi-crystalline polymers and resulting final part stiffness, shrinkage, and warpage. Available for Midplane and Dual Domain mesh types.

• General Solver Enhancements - various improvements to both the solver performance and accuracy.

Latest Update

	Project Scandium Technology Preview 3 for Moldflow 2012 can be installed and work side-by-side with other Autodesk Moldflow products, however it's recommended to uninstall Scandium Technology Preview 1 prior to this installation. Check out the installation document.
	For an explanation of new features in technology preview 2 that persist in technology preview 3, check out the what's new document. This technology preview expires on June 17, 2012.
