Start using Inspire Mold with our interactive tutorials.
Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids with construction history and variables.
Use the Part Cavity tool to designate, automatically detect, and reorient the part cavities in your model geometry.
Assign, modify, import and export materials through the Materials dialog.
Use the Runner System tools to add or designate gates, runners, sprues, and injection points.
Use the Tooling options to add a mold, cooling lines, and inserts.
Use the Molding Window to calculate the optimal Mold Temperature, Melt Temperature, and Fill Time for the model.
Define the filling, packing, cooling and machine parameters as required for the molding process. Default units shown are MKS (m kg N s).
Choose whether to run jobs in sequence or in parallel.
Run a quick injection molding analysis to get initial data on the practicality of your model setup.
Define parameters and execute an analysis to understand filling, packing, cooling or warpage events during molding. Generate results for individual or combined events.
When running an analysis, automatically export your model and perform advanced meshing in SimLab.
Select Add Fibers when running a detailed filling analysis to produce results that include fiber orientation tensors.
Analyze the results to minimize defects and prevent problems.
Use the Animation Toolbar that appears at the bottom of the modeling window to animate and record results.
View the status of the current run, as well runs for the current model that have not yet been viewed. To see all past runs, you need to view the run history.
View, sort, open, and delete past runs for the current and previous models.
