Hello Team, Software:- MF2019.2 Current issue. When running MACRO in one of Moldflow window when working with many Moldflow projects in many Moldflow windows, Moldflow is unable to decide on which window to run a MACRO and End up running MACRO at first window. But more often we need to run macron not in 1st MF window but 2nd , 3rd and so on …. Solution:- Moldflow can be programmed to run MACRO where user will be defining Active window out of many windows. There will be button in MACRO section that says “Make Window Active”. And later when we ran MACRO it will run only in Active Window. Best Regards, Abdul PATHAN

Running Macro option will be available for first instance of synergy window only. Next instance of synergy will not be able to run macro. It should be possible to run march in every instance synergy window.

When there are large undercuts surfaces the clamp force is overestimated. You have to select double surfaces and manually exclude from clamp force calculation. This operation should be automatic.

Hi, I would request the Autodesk development team to give high priority in modifying the existing Moldflow Marcos for Google Products like Google slides, Google sheets, etc Nowadays many companies are using Google products only. We have CustomReport.vbs script to publish the report in PPT only not for Google Slides. Please let me know how we can publish a report in Google Slides without having Microsoft Office installed in the Machine. Similarly, you have other Macros as well which are Microsoft Excel-based not for Google Sheet. Thank you in Advance! Mahesh Patil

There should be another command between "Unmark All for export" and "Mark for export". Often it happens you Unmark all selected results just for a wrong click. See the attached.

With the Modifier File it is really easy to apply specific changes in process Settings to a original sdy-file with the studymod command. Therefore it is necessary to create a Modifier file like shown in Autodesk knowledge base: http://help.autodesk.com/view/MFIA/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-F757D920-F5C8-4B08-B45F-1DA7F6CB4A5A Problem: I have to generate it myself , and I dont see the settings ive done in the original sdy-file. it needs time and because of creation of specific changes can quickly cause errors because of the Syntax. Solution: Option in Synergy to export a XML "Settings-Modifier-file" from original sdy-file with complete process Settings. Proc. Setting changens and finally generating of new study variants could be performed fast & easy.

Add a function in API to export Machine Setup to text file. In Logs, and tab Analysis Log, you could do a Save as ... to .txt-file. And it has possibility to export analysis log: StudyDoc.ExportAnalysisLog "C:\\my project\\analysis.log" For tab Machine Setup,you could do a Save as ... to .txt-file. But this has no function in API. Would like to have a function such as: StudyDoc .ExportMachineSetup "C:\\my project\\MachineSetup.txt" Thanks. Regards, Berndt

When you have very large parts it's time consuming to consider the whole cavity. It could be helpfull to mesh just 1/2 or 1/4 of the part and apply an option of simmetry boundary condition for cavity mesh (both dual domain and 3d). Usually the hot runner producers are splitting the cavity to save time but the real flow front at the simmetry face could be slightly different. If you have this option at least for fill you can save time in balancing the flow and then consider the whole cavity for pack and warp as usual.

Summary Feature line select, the possibility to select an edge or feature line in mesh for path plot or align nodes. Problem Currently, when you will make a path plot, you need select node by node to represent a edge. When you have a several study with differents meshes, this will take a long time. Solution Proposed A tool for select a feature line by nodes in order. Like you have in some Pre-processor tools (e.g. ANSA)

So far, 3rd party software is used to generate a midplane mesh. In future we expect Moldflow to successfully generate midplane mesh, to ease the process, it should be at least included in Moldflow Insight Premium or Ultimate version as a special feature.

Moldflow API has SetPlotNodesFromString and SetPlotNodesFromEntList. It would be good to have this for Tetras and Triangles as well: Please, add: SetPlotTetrasFromString and SetPlotTetrasFromEntList SetPlotTrianglesFromString and SetPlotTrianglesFromEntList. Thank you. Regards, Berndt

We'd like you to add the information of molding conditions in UDM file.

We want to create runners for suitable direction against cavity models using 'Runner System Wizard". See below picture.

Moldflow API: Class MaterialPlot : to be able to set Temperature and Pressure for XY-graph. This is regarding creating a XY-graph of material properties in Moldflow API: Rheological Properties (Viscosity) and PVT Properties. When creating a MaterialPlot, a XY-plot, you could use members such as: DefaultValueRangeX DefaultValueRangeY ValueRangeMaxX ValueRangeMaxY ValueRangeMinX ValueRangeMinY This always gives 4 values for Temperatures (Viscosity: Shear rate vs. Viscosity) or 5 values for Pressure (PVT: Temperature vs Specific Volume) Sometimes you would like to plot one or two curves in the XY-graph. Enhancement request: Add the options: 1) To be able to set Temperatures (1 to 5 curves) or use default in Viscosity XY-graph. 2) To be able to set Pressures (1 to 7 curves) or use default in PVT XY-graph. Regards, Berndt

Hello Autodesk team, It would be great , if we can edit the properties without opening the results. Save some time Prabu Karunakaran

Problem: When the feed system of a part is not modeled and the gate location is placed directly on the part, the thermal conditions and the conditions of the flow front are not always quite clear. That's why at user meetings it has been recommended to always place at least one beam element between gate and part. In the beam element the boundary conditions for the flow are clear and the diameter of the part-beam connection is defined (which is not always obvious when placing a gate with specified diameter on a 3D-Mesh depending on mesh coarseness). Solution proposed: Automatic insertion of a beam element on a selected node when setting an injection location directly on the part. The beam element has preferably to be perpendicular to the part surface (if flat) or with definable orientation (if not flat). Thanks for consideration.

Hi, Currently I am able to make Automatic report using custom report provided by autodesk moldflow. Limitation is I could use it only for single cavity components. since the macro capture displayed picture. also for some results I need results with feed system and without feed system. does anyone tried the custom report macro and explored for double or more cavity parts (non similar). if you customized any such macro it would be great helpful in saving time. Regards, B.Vasanth L&T Technology services.

Option to get selected examine points in results plot for report wizard & for MFR For coming new version, is it possible to get selected examine points in different results plot while preparing report from report wizard or whlie exporting MFR ?? (Refer below image) Currently we are getting plan image in report & in MFR but we are not able to capture examine points

Hello, I was working with 'studyrlt' command and i found that results can be exported using it only in xml format. The xml format is very inconvenient to post process or even plot the results in third party software. Can we have the ouput available in dat/csv format using 'studyrlt' command? That will help so much in post processing the results efficiently. Regards, Arjav -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. Do vote if you want this feature!

Dear Moldflow Team. A problem that has long existed in Moldflow and leads again and again to longer project times! When calculating large components or parts, including the hot runner system, the predefined injection time deviates very strongly from the calculated / achieved time. Moldflow needs significantly longer to fill the part because of inertia effects / compression of the melt. In order to reach the predetermined value of the injection time, several iterations are necessary. This can be very time-intensive. Suggestion: Moldflow should independently check during the calculation whether the specified time can be reached and, if necessary, make independent corrections. Furthermore, a percentage of max. deviation can be very useful. Thanks for the consideration and for solution. BR Lothar - current using MF2017.3-
