manifold design with mdtools 750 - what's new
DESCRIPTION
MDTools® the 3D manifold design software provides power tools to automate the manifold design, checking, documentation, and modeling process within the Autodesk® Inventor® environment. Design large and complex manifolds easily, fast and error-free. MDTools checks the manifold for wall-thickness, wrong, missing and bad quality connections. The 3D manifold assembly is created semi-automatically and the components stay associated with the cavities. MDTools automatically creates a professional drawing for you including dimensions, cavity machining IDs, bore charts with meet list, plug and engraving tables and more. Enhance your productivity and competitive edge with MDTools®TRANSCRIPT

Energy Efficient Design
MDTools® 750 What’s New
Energy Efficient Connections NEW
Setup MDTools to optimize Diameter and Depth, when making connections and inserting construction ports
Define nominal velocity range of oil flow for tank and pressure connections
Define construction hole upsizing ratio, for different velocity ranges
MDTools® 750 What’s New
Energy Efficient Construction Port
Smart Construction Port selection, based on flow values, is used when connecting ports
If Energy Efficient connection is active, then MDTools suggests Drill Diameter and Construction Port to reduce bend losses
NEW
MDTools® 750 What’s New
Check for Velocity Hot Spots in Blocks NEW
Check velocity for each pressure/tank net orthe complete manifold
Each tank and pressure connection is color coded for oil velocities
Red – HighGreen – NominalYellow – Low

Energy Efficient Smooth Bends
Before
After
NEW
MDTools checks and smoothens bends in manifold at the end of the design process
In Energy Efficient mode, MDTools automatically creates a smooth bend by optimizing drill depth
