Moldex3D eXplorer is a true 3D integrated tool for designers to distinguish different part design and mold design options during early stages of design. Many designers are designing
plastic parts with challenging 3D characteristics and wall thickness variations by using 3D CAD software. In the past, they needed to simplify the models into 2D before performing analysis. The simplification inevitably compromises analysis accuracy and often leads to significant errors. Moldex3D eXplorer seeks to provide a user-friendly interface for every CAD users to access true 3D flow simulation results. With Moldex3D eXplorer, CAD users can easily setup analyses with only a few clicks in their familiar CAD environment. In other words, no additional training, CAD conversion or meshing are needed. Moldex3D eXplorer is currently available for Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks and NX.
Benefits and Key Features
- Fully embedded in mainstream CAD, no additional training is needed
- Fully automatic 3D mesh generation, no user intervention or CAD conversion are needed.
- Accurate 3D results rendering, smart animations and automatic HTML report generation.
- High performance 3D filling simulation supported by parallel computing (up to 4 cores).
- Complete plastic material database (>5,000 grades) and friendly interface for setting molding parameters.
- Optimize gate location for improving product quality and appearance.
- Identify potential molding problems such as short shots, air traps and weld lines, etc.
- Improves design quality and reduces cycle times thereby avoiding rework of molds
