Tutorials

Topics in this section

• Introduction to the Ribbon Interface
• Getting started (tutorial)

  In this tutorial you will learn how to use Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser. You will modify your workspace, import a model, run a basic analysis and then assess the suitability of your model using the analysis results.

• Preliminary configuration (tutorial)

  In this tutorial you will learn how to import a model, orient it correctly in the mold and run several preliminary analyses.

• Gate Locator algorithms (tutorial)

  In this tutorial you will learn how to use both the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm and the Gate Region Locator algorithm in a Gate Location analysis.

• Analysis technologies (tutorial)

  In this tutorial you will learn about the analysis technologies used to analyze models.

• Working with materials (tutorial)

  In this tutorial you will learn how to find materials in the default database, and add commonly-used materials to a personal database.

• Modeling a single cavity mold (tutorial)

  A single cavity is a mold that has only one cavity, therefore can only produce one finished part per injection cycle. A single cavity is suitable for producing parts that are large, or for short part runs.

• Model a multi-cavity mold (tutorial)

  A multi-cavity mold has two or more cavities. The cavities may be identical, to produce multiple copies of a part in a single injection cycle, or they may be different (a family mold), to produce related parts in a single injection cycle.

• Model a family mold (tutorial)

  A family mold is a type of multi-cavity mold. It contains two or more cavities and each cavity forms a part to an assembled product. Unlike multi-cavity molds that have multiple identical cavities, family molds have multiple cavities that are not all identical.

• Runner balancing (tutorial)

  Runners need to be balanced in molds where there are two or more cavities, such as a multi-cavity or family mold. Balancing the runners is a way of adjusting the runner system so that the flow of melt is evenly distributed to the cavities, in order to produce a better quality part.

• Generate reports (tutorial)

  Learn how to edit reports and export to Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint formats.

• Export results to Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator (tutorial)

  Export results from two studies to an Moldflow Results file (*.mfr), which can be opened in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Communicator.
