Image Capture

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Moldflow Image Capture Option quality poor compared with snip tool,

While capturing design areas like flange , ribs , boss we do zoom in more detail of respect areas, right that time image quality much poor,

Attached image file i have mentioned with red line inside mesh whitish colour,

Please provide your valuable suggestions,

 Thanks,

Hello,

I don’t agree with you.
I think the quality of the pictures created by Moldflow is good (I hope it’ll last.)
Look at the comparison I made.

It shows the same picture, enlarged 2 times, saved in Jpeg and Gif with Moldflow, Windows capture tool * and the software IrfanView. (*is it what you mean by “snip tool”?)

You can see the results got with Moldflow are not so bad.
Personally, I prefer the Gif format because it gives sharper colors and writings.
IrfanView works well enough.
Your picture is strange. I never saw that, edges missing.

I hope this reply will help you.

Hi Petr,

Thanks for the reply,

I do agree for your above comparison images results for filling shades,

can you check and post fill contour for the midplane meshes?

Thanks,

So, this is a comparison of the filling contours displayed for a Midplane model.

My conclusions remain the same:

• Windows Capture works bad above all for GIF
• The pictures quality of Moldflow and IrfanView is good
• GIF images are sharper than JPG.

I made several tests to try to reproduce the defect you have.

I did not succeed.

But, now I think I had this problem a long time ago.

Which version of Moldflow do you use?

 Is your graphics card driver updated?

Hi,
if using Nvidia graphics card, it many times improve performance by changing
Global Presets to “3D App – Visual Simulation”
First, update graphics driver.

Those topics are for different reason, but shows how to do this setting,

Global Presets to “3D App – Visual Simulation”:

Moldflow scale or legend bar missing when displaying results
Moldflow: Bounding box not visible when using select tools

It could also be so, that you maybe need to change opacity.
In the Plot properties, tab Mesh Display, Surface display, below Transparent, you can change Opacity.

Would try updating graphics driver, and set Global Presets to “3D App – Visual Simulation” first.

Hope this helps.

Berndt
