AUTODESK SIMULATION MOLDFLOW CAD DOCTOR 2013 WIN64-MAGNiTUDE (June 01,2015)



Autodesk Simulation Moldflow CAD Doctor has long been a staple in a Simulation Moldflow Insight users process, specifically for easily fixing or modifying CAD geometry to make it suitable for meshing. With the new release of Simulation Moldflow CAD Doctor and Simulation Moldflow Insight though, a new process has been included to streamline this process and improve the quality of the final product.

First, it's important to understand the primary means of CAD Doctor exports previous to the 2013 release. A model would simply be brought into CAD Doctor, then modified/fixed, and finally exported as a *.udm file format. This is a Moldflow surface representation, and allowed easy translation into Moldflow.

With the new release of Simulation Moldflow CAD Doctor 2013, we've included the ability to export a *.sdy file that is representative of the native CAD kernel, after modifications and fixes have been made. This provides a significantly higher quality model for meshing in Simulation Moldflow Insight. The process though is important, because if you wish to export a *.sdy file, or the legacy *.udm process, it needs to be set at the onset.
