LONDON, Canada, Jan 12, 2015 – Longterm Technology Services Inc. has developed a new user-friendly motion simulation interface in conjunction with NX Tooling Design software can make designs live. Transform 3D designs to 4D to verify designs and achieve desired production rates. This process will help reduce costly corrections at trials or potential ECN. Ideal for engineering managers, production managers, injection mold and stamping die designers, production plants & decision-makers.
DYNMIK Design offers a user friendly interface that allows designers to modify all critical parameters and run simulations in NX easily with little additional training; therefore, shortening design time. Powerful simulation ability of this app allows users to simulate complicated components that cannot be simulated in other software. Accurate kinematics algorithm verifies collision-check, and provides velocity and acceleration analysis results.

Special features for users:
- Check designs for potential interference conditions to avoid costly damage caused by collisions
- Present verified design to customers dynamically with motion animation simulating production cycle
- Get accurate press setting parameters for your production
- Analyze the acceleration & velocity of tools and transfer systems
- Determine the maximum strokes per minute (SPM) to meet your customers’ requirements
- Easy-to-use interface requires limited training
Business benefits: increase profits, shorten lead time, avoid costly corrections & delays, accelerate time to market, speed up innovation, reduce waste, stay competitive, improve quality, and quick implementation.
“Longterm Technology has worked really hard with us to help develop DYNMIK Design,” says Ben Whitney, president of Armo-Tool Ltd. based in London, Ontario. “It’s been a really great tool for us, especially on transfer dies. We were really excited to see how fast we could go from concept to completion without making any of the mistakes and adjustments that are so common in a transfer system. Our customers were really impressed that they could see what the process was going to look like so early on and we could get their feedback and work with them.”
Scott McIlquham, tool designer at MetriCan Mfg. Co. Inc. in Burlington claims, “The results of the curves and what we’ve been able to see are good in that we can avoid issues with collisions in the tooling and anticipate issues. Longterm Technology has been quite responsive to any requests we’ve had for updates to the software and taken into consideration quite a few of our recommendations to make it easier to use. We’ve been quite happy with the way they’ve been implementing those suggestions. All in all, it’s a good tool for design.”
“You can improve everything out in your virtual world and have it work in the tool well before you’re in the manufacturing stage,” states Jamie Robinson, engineering manager at Omega Tool Corp. in Windsor. “When we were doing our normal simulations which involves constraining geometry, plugging in values and going through the sequencing usually takes between 2-3 hours to do. With the software from Longterm, we were able to do it in half an hour-the same process-which was a huge advantage as there’s not a lot of time wasted and with the way it works so simply, you can verify and get results immediately.”
