A key function of Moldflow Communicator is the visualization of analysis results. This requirement complements the current Moldflow analysis communication tools, which include project reports created in HTML, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint formats. These reports may include a combination of text, static images, and 2D animations.

to the full information available in Communicator.
Says Keith Beattie, senior analyst at Fisher-Price, “Often I come across a project report of an analysis done by our overseas vendor, wherein I wished the image was created at a slightly different angle, thus allowing me to get a better perspective. Although I could ask them to provide the analysis model with results, file sizes are a concern, especially when you only want to review a couple of results.”
Through Moldflow Communicator, it is possible for extended team members to view analysis results dynamically and interactively on 3D models, without the need to access the complete Moldflow analysis product.

view analysis results dynamically and interactively.
Moldflow Communicator has extensive model manipulation and visualization capabilities, including the dynamic and incremental pan/zoom/rotate functions, standard view orientations, cutting planes, and so on. Moldflow Communicator also features a comprehensive selection of result displays, including XY plots; shaded, contour, scalar, vector, and tensor plots; displacement plots; and animations.
These tools enable users to clearly identify problems and validate solutions.
