1 - Filling analysis is a pre-requisite for packing, cooling and warpage analysis
2 - Packing analysis is more accurate when combined with cooling
3 - Filling, packing and cooling analysis are pre-requisites for warpage analysis
4 - IGS (International Graphics Exchange Specification) is a translator of CAD geometry. Parasolid, UGII,
Pro-E and Catia are also acceptable.
