Moldflow Corporation (Framingham, MA) released Moldflow Design Link (MDL) 6.0, a software product that allows the direct import of solid geometry data from some of the world's leading CAD systems into Moldflow's analysis solutions. Using MDL, native CAD data from CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks and Parasolid-based CAD systems can be seamlessly imported into Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA, and Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) software.

MDL 6.0 introduces a next generation mesh generator, which was developed from toolkits licensed from Simmetrix Inc., a leading provider of component software for simulation-based design and CAD/CAE integration.

Key features of this mesh generator include CAD-kernel Driven Surface Meshing; multi-component (Assembly) Meshing; direct 3D meshing; plus, MDL 6.0 supports the latest versions of CAD systems including CATIA V5 R18, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0, and SolidWorks2008.
