Moldflow 2018.0 is now available

[raalteh]

Dear Moldflow Experts,

I’m very pleased to announce that the Moldflow 2018.0 products are live on Autodesk Accounts, and customers with active maintenance or subscription have been fulfilled! The contract manager for your account should have received a communication from Autodesk with instructions on how to access and activate your new release.

With 2018.0 we continue our quarterly release cadence of delivering new functionality, improvements and bug fixes.

The highlights of the release are:

1. We made Helius PFA available to customers with Moldflow Insight Ultimate on the new subscription license.
2. You can now start analysis directly from the CAD model, without having to go first through a meshing step. You can still use the traditional workflow where you first create a mesh, quality and fix any outstanding issues, before submitting an analysis, but you now have the option to reduce your time to solution by starting most analysis sequences directly from the CAD model.
3. You can now analyze the Multi-barrel Injection molding process. This process is used to produce very large parts using multiple, independently controlled injection units. We also completed an additional sequence in Injection Molding with a Compression overmolding.

In addition we resolved over 200 issues.

For a detailed overview of what’s new, please follow the link to the “What’s New in 2018.0” section in the online help (link).

If you have missed the last few quarterly releases, you can now get up to date with the highlights of the different releases on a new page on the Moldflow product page (link). We will continue to add content to this page with every update.

The team is already working on some very exciting capabilities we are targeting for the 2018.1 release next quarter!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Hanno van Raalte, on behalf of the Moldflow team.

Hello Hanno,

I am glad that the version 2018 now exists, but, I can't download it as a German user in my valid account, the last version is only the 2017 version.

I changed the language to English and I have the IE rebooted too, but nothing helps.

Regards

Michael

Hello Hanno,

the same issue that Michael faced already:

I'm also not sure if 2018 would take place under Product enhancements or (new "Full" version") in another place,

but at least 2 of the "2018 information + new tools" have found a place under "Enhancements".

Can't wait to find more - Easter is around the corner ... 🙂

Can't also wait to use my Spacemouse again.

Best regards

Harald

[raalteh]

Hi Sujin,

As a reseller, you will need to request a new license 2018. i will send you an email with instructions offline.

With regards to customers not seeing the release, can you send me account details so we can look into this. The release should be visible to all customers, unless there are issues with account setup. Let's take this offline and look into this as soon as possible.
