PCB (FR4) as part insert - Properties

[kulandaivel_palanisamy]

Hello team,

As you may aware, PCB (FR4) is one of the commonly used part insert for over-molding with plastic (mostly thermoset).

I have seen also the below queries where they tried to use PCB as part insert but there are no inbuilt PCB properties readily available for us to choose.

Could you please create an inbuilt generic FR4 PCB grade and make available in the future versions of Moldflow?

Thank you for raising this idea.

I'm changing this to 'accepted' and maybe this can be brought into a release. I think this is a good suggestion.
