Scandium Technology Preview for Moldflow Insight Now Available

The Moldflow team names their projects after the elements.

1. Today we are retiring the Radium Technology Preview for Moldflow Insight. Radium is an alkaline earth metal found in uranium ores whose isotope decays into radon gas.
   

2. We are also happy to announce the availability of the Scandium Technology Preview for Moldflow Insight. In terms of elements, Scandium is a silvery-white metallic transition metal, a rare earth element, discovered using spectral analysis by Lars Fredrik Nilson.
   

As did Radium, the Scandium Technology Preview enhances your injection molding predictive power through additional and improved design analysis capabilities. According to the developers, Autodesk Moldflow Scandium enhances the features made available through the Radium release by allowing transient cooling to handle a greater set of molding geometries with improved workflows, while thermoplastic venting, fiber orientation, and crystallization modeling have had solver and material data improvements.
