Moldflow Announces Major Releases of CAD Connectivity Tools; Products help streamline the creation and optimization of CAE analysis models
Moldflow Corporation announced the immediate availability of Moldflow CAD DoctorT 3.0 and Moldflow Magics STL ExpertT 3.0. These products are CAD connectivity tools, which help users create, repair and optimize the models they use for Moldflow analysis. The resulting faster model preparation and analysis time enables more in-depth analysis and optimization of part and mold designs.
Moldflow CAD Doctor 3.0 checks, corrects, heals and simplifies solid models imported from popular 3D CAD systems in preparation for analysis using Moldflow Plastics Advisers® (MPA®) or Moldflow Plastics Insight® (MPI®) software. With CAD Doctor 3.0, users can significantly reduce analysis times by performing model clean up and reducing the overall mesh size. CAD Doctor 3.0 checks and heals models up to six times faster than previous versions and also adds new model simplification tools that make it easier and faster to prepare a Moldflow analysis model.
Moldflow Magics STL Expert 3.0 allows users to convert IGES and 3D CAD solid models to the STL file format, locate errors within the STL model, fix the errors with editing tools and export a high quality analysis model for use with MPA or MPI. New features in the 3.0 version include a new workflow process that helps streamline common tasks, an enhanced wizard that simplifies repair of STL models, faster, more accurate mesh repair and better memory management that speeds processing of very large models.
