The Solution for Designers
Autodesk Moldflow Adviser is the small and cost-effective solution for simulating the design during component development. With the resulting digital prototypes, development times and costs can be drastically reduced. The Adviser allows the simple import of CAD data from all common systems such as Catia®, Creo® or SolidWorks®, as well as the fast simulation of the component – often only within a few minutes. Despite the extremely simple handling, the Adviser uses functions, solvers and, above all, the Autodesk Moldflow Insight material database, which contains over 10,000 data records.
After just two to three days of training, users are able to find a suitable injection point, compare different materials, ensure feasibility and carry out a fully-fledged filling simulation. The results of this simulation include maximum pressures and closing forces, the cycle time and, of course, shrinkage and warpage. In addition, the Adviser already allows the modeling of connection and cooling systems with the help of intuitive Runner and Cooling Wizards, so that the first simple mold analyses can be carried out quickly.
