Bringing Simulation One Step Closer to Reality
Using the newly released Moldex3D R17, engineers can better integrate the physical world into the digital world to accurately reflect real-world manufacturing conditions in simulations.
Simulate Real-World Machine Response
Since machine response varies from one machine to another, Moldex3D R17 enables users to consider the dynamic characteristics of an injection molding machine in simulations to more closely represent the real world conditions. The optimized processing conditions obtained from the simulation can then be directly applied on the shop floor, bridging the gap between simulation and manufacturing. With barrel compression functionality, users can simulate the compression behavior inside the barrel and nozzle to take into account its effect on material compressibility when injecting into the cavity, producing a more accurate injection pressure prediction.
