Moldex3D
Moldex3D is an engineering simulation software. It is designed for plastic injection modeling simulation based on finite volume analysis and computational fluid dynamics.
Introduction
Moldex3D is the world leading CAE product for the plastics injection molding industry. With the best-in-class 3D analysis technology, Moldex3D can help you to in-depth simulate the widest application range of injection molding processes to optimize product design and manufacturability, shorten time-to-market, and maximize product ROI.
Leadership in True 3D CAE technology
With the best-in-class 3D technology based on solid hybrid mesh and High-Performance Finite Volume Method (HPFVM), Moldex3D allows you to analyze thick parts, those that have extreme thickness changes from thin to thick, those that are difficult to define a proper mid-plane model, or those with very complicated part geometry. By considering complete physical equations, Moldex3D brings up the amazing accuracy for the plastics industry.
Complete True 3D simulation solutions
Moldex3D provides the most comprehensive True 3D simulation capabilities for plastics injection molding, such as solid melt flow, 3D runner effect, 3D mold temperature, fountain flow, inertia effect or viscoelasticity. These superior functions effectively help uses to simulate plastic flow through cavity, optimize gate locations, PReVENT short shot and weld lines, evaluate cooling circuit design, minimize cycle time, reduce warpage, predict optical birefringence, simulate variotherm process, etc.
Automatic 3D mesh generation engine
Moldex3D is equipped with an automatic 3D mesh generation engine to help users to work directly through solid CAD model to true 3D simulations and save mass working-hours in mesh preparation. Furthermore, The advanced functionalities allow users to efficiently import/patch/edit the CAD model, layout the runner and cooling system, and prepare the mesh for various analyses.
Unmatched Boundary Layer Mesh (BLM)
To capture the strong shear thinning and viscous heating effects in injection molding, high resolution 3D mesh across thickness is crucial. The proprietary Boundary Layer Mesh (BLM) feature makes it simple and straightforward to prepare high quality mesh for any complicated 3D geometry. BLM enhances the solver accuracy in viscous heating and pressure, thus improves warpage prediction significantly.
High performance parallel computing
Moldex3D, the leading professional CAE for injection molding, is the ONLY one offering the entire parallel computing support in Flow, Pack, Cool, Warp, Fiber, MCM, and so on. By utilizing the strength of multi-core or multi-CPU, the time required for analysis is greatly shortened. For example, the computing efficiency is enhanced up to fifty to eighty percent on general dual-core PC, even much more. Moldex3D parallel computing lowers your cost and contributes to outstanding performance.
