Moldex3D Advanced is intended for simulation specialists, CAE engineers, mold designers and manufacturing teams that require greater flexibility when creating injection-molding simulation models.
The package provides multiple meshing approaches for building accurate and efficient 2.5D and 3D models. Engineers can select an appropriate modelling method based on part geometry, simulation objectives and required analysis detail.
Models can include the plastic part, melt-delivery system, cooling channels, mold inserts and other relevant tooling components. This provides a more complete virtual representation of the injection-molding environment.
Prepare different parts of the molding system and connect them within one structured simulation workflow.
