CoreTech Moldex3D R17 SP1

Flat Fiber Orientation Simulation

The fiber orientation simulation capability has now been extended to support a new filler type—flat fibers. The fiber orientation analysis for flat fibers will enable greater design freedom and help achieve better mechanical properties and improved dimensional stability.

Moldex3D GAIM and WAIM modules now support simulating push back by visualizing how the melt is pushed by the gas/water back into the molding machine barrel. With R17, users can better investigate the gas/water penetration behaviors to produce hollow, lightweight parts, reducing material waste and providing better surface quality than the short-shot method
