CoreTech Releases Moldex3D R11.0 for Plastic Analysis
 HSINCHU,
Taiwan, Jan 4, 2012 - CoreTech System, the “True 3D” CAE simulation solution innovator, announced the
latest release of plastic design and analysis software for high-end injection
molding simulations, Moldex3D R11.0. This release brings several breakthrough
new features and enhancements that lead designers and manufacturers to better
validate and optimize product designs with advanced 3D simulation results and
high-speed processing capabilities at every stage of industrial molding
processes.When facing severer molding challenges and cost competition, global
enterprises are always seeking for more accurate and more efficient solutions.
Moldex3D R11.0 has been developed to help customers overcome this kind of
difficulties between ideal market demands and physical manufacturing factors.
“The core value of Moldex3D is to provide our customers accurate,
high-performance, and attentive service. We have re-positioned Moldex3D R11.0 as
four solution packages, including eDesign Basic, eDesign, Professional, and
Advanced, to satisfy more exclusive needs from our customers in every level of
process complexity,” said Dr. Venny Yang, President of CoreTech System. Moldex3D
R11.0 offers industrial users the most complete injection molding simulations.
It also adds innovation for better user experience and faster computing
capabilities. The ability to have professional simulation results and
predictions will encourage more effective product cycle management and increase
profitability, which brings companies greater global competitiveness.
Building upon the previous releases and the powerful simulation capabilities,
Moldex3D R11.0 provides new features and enhancements including:
Advanced Support for Pre-Processor
Moldex3D R11.0 adds several friendly tools that enable users to design
various feeding and cooling systems depending on individual needs more easily.
It also highly improves the quality of mesh generation, which will help users
better portray unique model features with complicated geometry and acquire more
accurate simulation results.
Improvements on Accuracy for Simulations
This release supports a venting analysis that helps users solve potential
incomplete fills in cavities more effectively. It also supports a core shift
analysis to simulate the deflection results of part inserts due to imbalanced
pressure in the filling process. Additionally, the Standard Cool solver adds
visualization of 3D coolant flow in cooling channels for evaluation of baffle,
bubbler and conformal cooling designs. The expanded Transient Cool analysis
improves predictions of cooling inefficiency problems and can directly benefit
conformal cooling circuit design. As for reactive materials, Reactive Injection
Molding (RIM) modules support PVTC models for more accurate warpage and
volumetric shrinkage predictions. For encapsulation projects, users now can
analyze wire crossing models and identify related troubles. Moreover,
Gas-Assisted and Water-Assisted Injection Molding modules allow users to define
an overflow region, which will lead to more realistic process simulations.
Finally, FEA Interface modules increase transferable file formats and data
distributions into structural analysis software.
New Simulation Capabilities
Moldex3D R11.0 also introduces several new modules, including Advanced Hot
Runner, Co-Injection Molding, Microcellular Foaming (MuCell), and Underfill
Encapsulation (Underfill), to accurately simulate the 3D molding phenomena in
these special injection molding processes. Key process parameters can be
investigated, and major molding defects can be predicted for design verification
and process optimization. Another useful module is Expert. It uses the Design
for Experiment (DOE) method to help users evaluate optimal analysis results
systematically instead of using the conventional trial-and-error method.
Enhanced Efficiency for Simulations
Improving user friendliness and efficiency has also been the major focus in
Moldex3D R11.0. We redesigned the user interface of Process Wizard as the real
control panel on an injection molding machine. It will guide users to define and
setup process conditions more easily and intuitively. Moldex3D Project adds
predictions of gate contribution for users to measure the flow field from each
gate as a reference for optimizing gate location designs. At the same time, it
supports more result displays on surface, including velocity vector and
volumetric shrinkage, which allow users to evaluate 3D analysis results more
conveniently. Moreover, users can compare XY plots from different selected run
results and import or export these data curves as a CSV file for further
discussion. In parallel to the release of R11.0, a brand new result
visualization tool, Moldex3D Viewer, is ready for beta testing. Users are able
to export selected result items with a very compact file size for sharing design
and simulation knowledge over Internet among the team, suppliers and customers.
High Performance Computing
Moldex3D R11.0 employs Intel MPI Library as the parallel processing
communication protocol. Its computing speed will increase by 5-10% in comparison
with that in Moldex3D R10.0 under the same CPU cores. At the same time, it also
adds support for the parallel processing capability of Graphics Processing Unit
(GPU). It can accelerate the computing speed by 10-20 times for a Standard Flow
analysis and by 2-4 times for an Enhanced Flow analysis.
