OVERVIEW

Project Scandium for Autodesk^® Simulation Moldflow^® 2013 software is a free* technology preview that extends simulation capabilities by offering new capabilities to try out and provide feedback.

These new capabilities and extensions include:

• New Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process for Midplane analysis technology
  It is now possible to analyze the Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process, which involves injection of two different materials into a mold at separate injection locations, which are controlled independently by two different injection units.

• New injection-compression and compression molding process simulation capabilities for 3D analysis technology
  New molding processes are introduced to enable simulation of injection-compression molding and compression molding processes using 3D analysis technology. The new simulation capabilities are available for both thermoplastics materials and reactive (thermoset) materials.

• New mechanical property prediction for long fiber-filled thermoplastics composites
  It is now possible to account for the effects of fiber breakage and fiber/matrix debonding when predicting the mechanical properties of long fiber-filled thermoplastics composite materials.

• New Buckling analysis option for 3D analysis technology
  It is now possible to perform a buckling analysis of a 3D model. The Buckling analysis type option is available in the 3D Warp Advanced options dialog when mesh aggregation is not used.

• Solver enhancements address accuracy and speed
  Enhancements have been implemented to improve the performance of analysis solvers.

• The FBX export capability increases visualization options among Autodesk products.

It is possible to export analysis result plots as FBX (*.fbx) files so that they can be viewed and examined in Autodesk Showcase, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Inventor Publisher, Autodesk MotionBuilder, and other applications that support the FBX format.

AVAILABILITY

The Project Scandium Technology Preview could be installed and work side-by-side with other Autodesk Moldflow 2013 products. This technology preview will expire on August 17, 2013. The technology preview relies on Moldflow Insight 2013 licenses and requires the Moldflow Insight and Synergy 2013 product keys and serial numbers.
