Press Release Summary:
Moldflow Design Link v3.0 provides geometry data translation interface between Moldflow's range of simulation products and CAD systems using standard file formats such as IGES, STEP, and PTD's Pro/ENGINEER(R) part files. Imported geometry is represented in MPI/Synergy pre- and post-processor as trimmed NURBS surfaces. These surfaces can be independently viewed, grouped, or meshed.
Original Press Release:
Moldflow Releases Moldflow Design Link 3.0
WAYLAND, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2002-Moldflow Corporation (Nasdaq:MFLO), the world leader in software solutions for optimizing the design and manufacture of plastic products today announced the immediate commercial availability of Moldflow Design Link (MDL) 3.0.
Moldflow Design Link 3.0 provides a geometry data translation
interface between Moldflow's range of simulation products and leading CAD systems using standard file formats such as IGES, STEP, and PTC's Pro/ENGINEER(R) part files.
MDL 3.0 can be used to import CAD model geometry directly into both Moldflow Plastics Advisers(R) (MPA(TM)) and Moldflow Plastics Insight(TM) (MPI(TM)). New for MDL 3.0 is MDL/Pro/ENGINEER, which is based on the PTC Granite(TM) One interoperability kernel. MDL/Pro/ENGINEER can be used for the import of Pro/ENGINEER part files, IGES, and STEP files.
Blake Courter, director, business development for PTC said, "The
release of MDL 3.0 will allow Moldflow users to seamlessly read
Pro/ENGINEER designs in Moldflow's desktop simulation products. We are excited to see Moldflow pass on the benefits of Granite's native file interoperability to our customers."
"We believe that seamless integration to the leading CAD software
products is fundamental to the success of the plastics simulation
workflow," said Moldflow product line manager Dean Piepiora. "For the first time, MDL 3.0 directly imports NURBS geometry surfaces to help users create more accurate simulation models, which will help save them both time and money."
Other MDL 3.0 enhancements include:
* Imported geometry is now represented in the new MPI/Synergy
pre- and post-processor as trimmed NURBS surfaces. These surfaces can be independently viewed, grouped, or meshed. NURBS surfaces are supported by the IGES, STEP, Parasolid and Pro/ENGINEER file formats.
* MDL 3.0 supports both Moldflow Plastics Advisers 5.0 and Moldflow Plastics Insight 3.0.
