Moldex3D/Shell,
which is based on an efficient and robust 2.5D technology, helps you to
in-depth analyze and optimize the design of conventional parts. With the
unique Fast Finite Element Method (FFEM) and meshing technologies, users
can significantly decrease the mid-plane model preparation time and
validate more design iterations.
Moldex3D/Shell
is capable of simulating the plastics filling and packing, mold cooling,
fiber orientation and part warpage for thermoplastic injection molding.
Additional modules simulate gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM),
multi-component molding (MCM) and reactive injection molding (RIM).
Besides, the interface modules link mold-filling and structural analyses
to allow you to evaluate the interaction of part structure and
manufacturability.
After more
than 15-year development, Moldex3D/Shell has become the most robust and
reliable analysis tool. With the power of Moldex3D/Shell, users can
quickly predict and solve injection molding manufacturing problems, and
further optimize designs.
Moldex3D/Shell Modules:
