I2

Moldex3D/Shell-I2 is a series of interface modules to integrate Moldex3D/Shell and other general-purpose structural analysis software, such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, MSC.Nastran...etc.

Moldex3D/Shell-I2 helps users to introduce the process-induced properties, such as fiber orientation, into the above-mentioned software for optimizing part structure design with the real material properties. It can directly translate the mesh and material properties into the necessary formats for structural CAE software. For those analyses requiring different mesh number, mesh density distribution and mesh types (such as high-order hexagonal mesh model), Moldex3D/Shell-I2 provides advanced mapping functions to map the necessary information onto the dedicated mesh model for structural analyses.

Moldex3D/Shell-I2 bridges the gap between the molding simulation and structural analysis for a fully-optimized product design.
