The Project Scandium technology preview has returned:
http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/scandium
It is compatible with Autodesk Simulation Moldflow 2013. I have made the 64-bit download available on the Autodesk Labs site. I have the 32-bit version if anyone wants it, but my guess is that most early adopters are using 64-bit.
Capabilities in this technology preview beyond the commercial release:
The Simulus technology preview requries Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Synergy and Insight 2013 licenses, and the technology preview will expire on August 17 2013.
We are looking forward to your feedback.
Hi,
I'm participating in project scandium and noticed a problem. I'm trying to do overmolding for thermoplastic compression molding and can't seem to get the inserts to work. My regular thermoplastic injection molding version of moldflow allows for inserts, but not the new scandium. I can' put them in and select their properties correctly, but the analysis won't run. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
D.York
Hi,
I'm happy to see you are using the compression molding code. We are very excited about this.
Correct, at compression molding currently does not support insert or two shot overmolding. However we are aware of this and it's being considered for the future.
Best regards,
Hanno
Hi Scott,
I am a Moldflow 2012 user, and would like to participate in project scandium for compression molding simulation.
So I am thinking of upgrading my license to Moldflow 2013; however, prior to purchasing the latest release of Moldflow I would like to ask you the following question:
Thank you in advance for you reply to my inquries. I am desperately looking forward to the commercial availability of the compression molding simulation capability in Moldflow soon.
Thanks,
Joe Han
Since the previous technology preview expired on August 17, I have posted a new version that is compatible with Simulation Moldflow Insight 2014. THis one runs until February 9, 2014.
Parametric Study with Injection Compression Moulding 3D (see also attachment)
In a parametric study I've defined 2 variables((Press Open Distance and Compression starts by % volume filled). In the Results Comparison Explorer the Press Open Distance value was not modified and set to 0 (initial value 0.5). When the variables are set and I re-open the parametric study builder the Press Open Distance parameter is unchecked.
