iSLM ─ A New Way to Store and Manage Your Simulation Data

iSLM is a Cloud-based platform, a new way to store and manage your simulation data. Users can access iSLM via browsers to view information, such as mold design documentation, material data tables, and Moldex3D simulation projects.  These data can all be managed online to achieve a streamlined workflow.

In addition to the streamlined workflow, iSLM is also equipped with tools to collect on-site mold trial results, which can be uploaded to iSLM instantly. Moreover, users can compare results from on-site mold trials to the ones from Moldex3D simulation.  It allows users to gather data quickly and further demonstrate the digital-physical integration!

Manage Your Knowledge Systematically (Solution Management)

Through iSLM, you can manage your knowledge systematically and solve problems like incomplete backups, hardware resources consumption and complex email exchange.

• Information can be accessed by multiple teams while the data is protected by permission settings
• Moldex3D projects can be stored systematically, keeping the workflow open and transparent
• Compare on-site mold trial and CAE simulation results simultaneously, showing digital and physical integration
• Your online document housekeeper that stores paperwork and DFM records

Digitalize the trial process: Results of on-site trials can be recorded online (Mold Tryout Management)

Say goodbye to lengthy paperwork process and unreadable notes.  All on-site mold trial data can be recorded on a digital platform to create an efficient working environment.

• Record on-site mold trial data online
• Acquire CAE parameter hints by using Solution Management to map trial data with CAE simulation
• Able to build customized templates to generate mold trial reports that meet business-standard specifications

Gain Product Development Insights from Your Own Database (Knowledge Management)

The Knowledge Management of iSLM can help industries quickly screen and compare different analyzed results via filters and user-defined categories to gain insights from their own database.
