Moldflow Releases Moldflow Communicator 2.0

By DE Editors

Moldflow Corporation (Framingham, MA) released Moldflow Communicator 2.0, a free simulation results viewer that allows distributed product teams to visualize, quantify, and compare Moldflow analysis results.

New features allow the Communicator to be accessed by a wider audience and updates to the user interface and new operating system support increase its functionality as a plastics simulation results viewer, states the release.

One new enhancement to Communicator 2.0 is support of analysis results from Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA) 8.1. MPA users can use Communicator files to report their simulation results to other members of a design-to-manufacturing team, regardless of whether or not they are Moldflow customers. Support for MPA results has the potential to significantly broaden the Communicator installed base with new users involved in the design of plastic parts or injection molds.

In addition, an updated user interface continues to provide intuitive navigation through Communicator functionality with the most frequently used features available at the click of a button. The interface will be as easy to use for non-Moldflow customers as it is familiar to existing Moldflow customers. New support for the Microsoft Windows Vista will help speed product adoption and 64-bit architecture support will allow for the efficient handling of large models, states the release.

Moldflow Communicator 2.0 is free and available for download to both Moldflow customers and non-customers. It runs on 32- and 64-bit hardware running Microsoft Windows Vista and XP.
