2 What s new in 2016 Refined UI based on your direct feedback Increase pre-processing efficiency Get deeper insight into your design New processes and additional controls New tools for model preparation

3 User experience

4 New landing page New landing page with tutorial videos, discussion forums, and additional learning resources.

5 Ribbon enhancements All tabs are now permanently available in the ribbon, including mesh, results, and reports. Groups within the menu can be repositioned and locked between studies.

6 UI enhancements Customize which UI elements are in the window, including a new option to display the study name. Contextual menu has been reconfigured to provide better access to commonly used commands.

7 Indicators and glyphs Indicators and glyphs have been redesigned to be more recognizable.

8 Layer organization Layers panel now includes folders and automatically organizes objects in project. New tool highlights all items in the display window that are contained in the selected layer.

9 Model import improvements Part names and colors from CAD bodies are preserved during model import. On average, import speeds are now 30% faster than previous versions.

10 Copy settings to new study Copy study settings from one analysis to another without including geometry.

11 Meshing

12 3D mesh repair wizard Multi-page wizard has been replaced with a single window, summarizing all mesh issues.

13 Expand selection to face New command for expanding a selection to all connected elements on the same plane.

14 Remesh area node preview Preview nodes that will be created as part of the remeshing operation.

15 Global edge length defaults To align with common user practices, global edge length default value is now reduced by about 2/3.

16 Results

17 Pathlines Pathlines help identify where sudden changes to temperature, pressure, or speed occur that may result in surface defects.

18 3D weld line movement View how weld lines move after they initially meet to assess structural quality and visibility.

19 Export warped geometry as CAD Export warped geometry as a CAD file for easier comparison to original model.

20 Animate XY plot Animate XY plots and overlay additional results, such as pressure and fill time.

21 Cavity weight View cavity weight of multi-cavity or family molds throughout the cycle.

22 Examine using locked views Examine tool can be used in conjunction with the lock all views command.

23 Processes

24 Controlled valve gate opening Control the speed that valve gates open and close to create a uniform flowfront and balanced injection pressure profile. Instant open Slow open Model courtesy of Synventive Molding Solutions

25 Induction heating With a strategic partnership with RocTool, induction heating simulation is now in Moldflow Model and image courtesy of RocTool

26 Microcellular injection molding Microcelluar analysis now available for 3D models. New nucleation model predicts non-uniform nucleation based on the properties of the material and local temperatures and pressures.

27 3D conformal cooling flow included 3D coolant flow for conformal cooling is now included with Moldflow Insight Premium and Ultimate.

28 Interoperability

29 SimStudio Tools Companion product included with Moldflow 2016 for model simplification, light repairs, and edits to part or mold geometry.
