Advanced
Shading for Sink Marks Visualization in Moldflow
Plastics Advisers 7.1
Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA) products
are ideal tools for part designers — even
those who have little plastics experience —
to quickly verify manufacturability and quality
issues for plastics applications. However, when
it comes to identifying and eliminating visual defects
such as sink marks, accurate visual representation
of the part surface can be as critical as the numerical
results.
MPA
7.1 products include new Advanced Shading
capability, a state-of-the-art feature for visualizing
molded-in surface defects. With Advanced Shading
activated, you can now view analysis results rendered
with photo-realistic lighting and texturing. This
helps to identify surface defects more easily and
determine their potential visual severity.

Advanced Shading makes use of OpenGL 2.0 Shader
Language extensions and is available to users with
24-bit displays and graphics cards supporting OpenGL
2.0. If your system meets these requirements and
you want to use the new Advanced Shading feature,
please visit your graphics card manufacturer's Web
site and install the latest reference drivers for
your graphics card.
