Plastic molding flow analysis software [Moldex3D]
We provide technology that reduces trial and error through complete 3D simulation visualization technology!
Moldex3D, a complete 3D resin flow analysis software, simulates the behavior inside molds during the plastic molding process on a computer, aiming to proactively identify and prevent various potential issues that may arise during the process. 【Features】 ■ Large-scale and high-speed analysis using the finite volume method for high-precision 3D analysis In traditional finite element methods (FEM), computation time increases geometrically with the number of elements, whereas in the finite volume method (FVM), it increases linearly, making it overwhelmingly advantageous as the number of elements increases. ■ High-precision 3D analysis By accurately solving the Navier-Stokes equations based on non-Newtonian fluids and considering the effects of inertia and gravity, it can handle complex phenomena such as runner balance and jetting. Unsteady cooling analysis and vent analysis are also supported as standard features. ■ High-performance computing capabilities By efficiently utilizing multi-core, multi-CPU, and multi-PC clusters, it achieves high computation speeds. It supports: - Flow analysis - Pressure holding analysis - Cooling analysis - Stress analysis - Warpage analysis - Structural analysis integration For detailed features, please refer to the catalog.
basic information
Moldex3D is a comprehensive 3D resin flow analysis software that can be widely utilized by product design engineers and molding engineers alike. The visualization of the plastic molding process using Moldex3D is expected to reduce the mold manufacturing costs associated with trial and error, and to proactively identify and prevent various potential issues that may arise during the process. It employs the finite volume method for its calculations, allowing for large-scale computations to be performed in a shorter time compared to the finite element method, which is widely used in other resin flow analyses. Additionally, it can utilize boundary layer mesh (BLM) technology, enabling the easy creation of high-quality meshes even for complex three-dimensional shapes. BLM is particularly suitable for representing resin flow processes with significant temperature changes near the product surface, facilitating high-precision analysis. By effectively utilizing Moldex3D, we can support the overall optimization of your processes, leading to improvements in product quality and reductions in production cycle time and development periods.
