Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids with construction history and variables.
Define a part and its material for a quick molding simulation.
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 Mold tool to generate a mold that contains the part, runner system, and any other components.
Use the Insert tool to define a desired cavity shape or temperature effect in a particular region of a part during molding.
Use the Cooler tool to define a cooling system that provides heat dissipation and maintains a constant temperature relative to the mold. This helps ensure tension-free cooling of the molded parts.
Use the Vents tool to create an exit for air to escape as the fluid advances.
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).
Run an injection molding analysis to minimize defects and prevent manufacturing problems.
