Autodesk launches Moldflow 2010 software suite
Autodesk has announced the latest release of its Moldflow software suite for plastics injection moulding simulation and optimisation.
Scheduled for next month, Autodesk Moldflow 2010, its second release and part of the Autodesk solution for digital prototyping, offers enhanced performance, accuracy and interoperability with mainstream computer-aided-design (CAD) applications.
The plastics injection moulding software suite is among the first in the computer-aided-engineering (CAE) market to take advantage of the processing power of high-performance graphics-processing-unit (GPU) technology to solve complex computations twice as fast.
Customers will benefit from higher accuracy for their plastics simulations through improvements to 3D mesh analysis quality for parts and assemblies.
Finally, native support for the Autodesk Inventor software and a variety of other CAD models improve Moldflow integration with the product design and development process.
Samir Hanna, vice-president of digital factory and industrial design for the Autodesk Manufacturing Industry Group, said: ‘We’re focused on helping manufacturers reduce errors and improve injection mould performance, resulting in higher product quality and faster time to market.
‘With the second release of Moldflow 2010, we are providing our customers with higher accuracy than ever before.
‘Customers can troubleshoot and optimise plastic parts from the start of the product design cycle all the way to the manufacturing process.’ The unique properties of plastics allow manufacturers to make high-quality parts that are light and strong with a high degree of repeatability.
However, there are also many challenges associated with plastics that are crucial to a product’s success, such as visual defects or warpage (that is, changes that cause the part to no longer fit during assembly), which can result from a design misstep or the manufacturing process.
Designers and engineers can use the Autodesk Moldflow software to balance structural integrity and aesthetics when addressing these challenges, particularly for consumer products, automotive interiors and high-end building products.
Brian Cutler, process simulation engineer of Synventive Molding Solutions, said: ‘The new graphics processing unit and 3D parallel flow capabilities in Moldflow 2010 will allow us to take maximum advantage of our computing power.’ With the 2010 release, Autodesk claims that it simplified the Moldflow product line to bring customers more value at a lower cost.
Autodesk Moldflow Insight offers an in-depth simulation of the industry’s most advanced moulding processes using a large plastics material database.
Autodesk Moldflow Adviser simplifies plastics injection moulding simulation and guides designers through analysis and results interpretation, helping to avoid manufacturing delays and costly mould rework.
A single 3D flow analysis in the latest release taps into hardware advancements by using multiple central-processing-unit (CPU) cores.
Multi-threading technology accelerates Autodesk Moldflow software analysis times by a factor of two, depending on the model.
To achieve even greater speed gains, the Autodesk Moldflow software is said to be the first plastics simulation software to leverage GPU technology from NVIDIA Corporation for analysis calculations in combination with the multiple CPU cores.
Autodesk has enhanced multi-CAD application support in Insight and CAD models that are created or modified in the Inventor software can now be imported directly into both Adviser and Insight.
Insight users can import a part of or a complete assembly at once.
Once the CAD model has been imported, the user has full control over the meshing process and can refine the surface mesh in a specific spot where more detail is required, while leaving another area coarser.
Improvements to meshing technology for 3D models enable more accurate predictions of plastics designs and processes.
For example, the software provides better mesh quality in areas where the part makes a transition from a thick to a thin area, in corners and at the edge of a part.

Mori Seiki announced as the Official CNC Machine Supplier for WorldSkills Calgary 2009
WorldSkills Calgary 2009 is pleased to announce
Mori Seiki as a Founding Sponsor of the 40th WorldSkills Competition,
September 1-7, 2009 at Calgary Stampede Park. Mori Seiki is the Official
Supplier of three skill categories, including: CNC Turning, CNC Milling and
the Manufacturing Team Challenge. The cutting machine tooling company is
providing 26 CNC machines to be utilized in these three competitions
determining the best young CNC machinists in the world. Mori Seiki was also an
Official Supplier of WorldSkills Shizuoka 2007, which was held in Japan.
"It is a great honour to be selected twice consecutively as an official
supplier and sponsor for the WorldSkills Competition," says Dr. Masahiko Mori,
President of Mori Seiki Co., Ltd. "Workforce development is a challenge for
manufacturing industries, even as the need for such knowledge grows. The
WorldSkills Competition both promotes and recognizes the capabilities of
talented young people around the globe."
Mori Seiki will also be present at Global Skills Village, presented by
the UA Canadian Piping Trades, showcasing their world leading technologies.
Mori Seiki representatives will operate an 800 square foot booth to provide
information and answer questions about their role as a world leader in the
machine tooling industry. Mori Seiki's involvement will be further highlighted
by their participation in a Try-A-Skill demonstration for the CNC Machining
skill category at Skill City, presented by Calgary Herald. Spectators will
have the opportunity to be interactive with 16 different Try-A-Skill
demonstrations at Skill City allowing complete hands-on interaction with
trades and technologies. Mori Seiki is providing the vertical machining centre
required for this Try-A-Skill allowing spectators the opportunity to assist in
machining their very own WorldSkills key chain.
"Mori Seiki's participation has been essential to promoting the machining
and manufacturing skill categories for the current and previous WorldSkills
Competitions. Their sponsorship contributes enormously to the success of the
Competition as well as highlights the trades they are Official Suppliers for,"
says Richard Walker, President and CEO of WorldSkills Calgary 2009.
"WorldSkills Calgary 2009 is pleased to have had the privilege of enhancing
its relationship with Mori Seiki starting from previous generations of
