Display boundary condition properties in workview

[ramon.looijen]

Hello Autodesk and Moldflow users,

I would like to propose property visualization of boundary conditions like the gate contact diameter and coolant flow/temperature of inlets. On several occasions I have missed checking 1 of several cool inlets only to find out mid-solving my coolant flow or temperature was set incorrectly.

Currently to check the gate contact diameter users need to open process settings, advanced options, solver parameters, fill+pack analysis tab because right clicking the "cone symbol" does not allow users to navigate directly to this menu.

In the case of coolant properties users can either check each separate inlet by right clicking on the inlet symbol or they can go to the boundary conditions tab, coolant inlets/outlets, coolant inlets. This opens a dialog with a list of all inlets used in the study but it does not highlight the selected inlet in the work view, even when going into the "edit" dialog.

I think it is more user friendly if each boundary condition symbol shows the relevant properties directly in the work view (see attached image) and is right clickable for editing its properties. 

I'm using Insight 2024, file version 47.1.8

Hi,

I second the idea. Good to have a choice to display such information.

Better than what I suggested some time ago. 😊

Hello @bernor_mf , thanks for your support! And I agree, we should be able to turn this info on and off.

Best regards, Ramon

I think this is a very valid idea. I cannot speak to how involved this would be to implement but I understand and agree with the idea.
