New Simulation

Create a new injection mold and/or cooling simulation using the third party application. The part to be analyzed, the melt entrance points and the cooling circuits are indicated. When you exit this tool by pressing OK in the Feature Guide (see below), the external application is loaded with the model and data.

This tool is a third party application which enables you to simulate and analyze both the injection molding and also the cooling process of the mold from within Cimatron.

The simulation and analysis of the injection molding process enables you to ensure optimal placement of injection points, and increase the quality of the manufactured part. The flow analysis tool displays a full 3D visualization of the molding process, providing the inner temperature and pressure of the cavity. You can evaluate the welding line, air traps, flow balance, cooling time, the number of gates needed, and the location of the gates.

The simulation and analysis of the cooling of the mold is especially useful for complex cooling circuits, as well as for conformal cooling.

A report generator enables you to provide relevant feedback to your customers.

Note: A license is required to run the third party software. If no injection mold simulation software is installed, or if you do not have a valid license, an appropriate message is displayed.
