• New Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process for Midplane analysis technology
• New injection-compression (video) and pure compression molding (video) process simulation capabilities for 3D analysis technology
• New mechanical property prediction for long fiber-filled thermoplastics composites.
• New Buckling analysis option for 3D analysis technology.
• Various Solver enhancements address accuracy and speed.
  • New Crystallization analysis result displays final average crystal size distribution
  • Midplane and Dual Domain Warp solver accounts for viscoelastic mechanical properties of thermoplastics
  • Improved time to solution for Microcellular Injection Molding analyze
  • Cartridge heater enhancements for 3D elements
  • Wall slip option added to 3D flow solver parameters
  • 3D Gas-assisted Injection Molding analysis supports multiple gas cylinders
  • New results produced by the 3D flow solver
  • Large deflection stress analysis parameters enabled for 3D Microchip Encapsulation analysis
  • New 3D result mapping method improves time to solution
  • FBX export capability increases visualization options among Autodesk products.

Be aware that whatever is in a technology preview, may or may not become available in a commercial release at any point.
