Design and analyze virtually all types of hot and cold sprues and runner systems

Obtain optimally sized runners to balance flow in multi-cavity and family molds

Determine the best gate locations and the optimum number of gates

Predict estimated cycle time, clamp tonnage and shot volume

Assess the manufacturing feasibility of the mold design layout

Identify the most suitable plastics material candidate

Identify and eliminate cosmetic issues such as sink marks, weld lines and air traps

Obtain practical, results-specific advice on improving the part and mold design

Visualize the orientation of the plastic to aid in maximizing part strength, especially in the vicinity of weld lines

View distributions of pressure, flow-front temperature and polymer orientation and predict weld-line and air-trap locations

Identify areas of high, non-uniform volumetric shrinkage, which could contribute to part warpage

View the distribution of cooling time to identify areas that dictate cycle time

Display the deflected shape of the part to visualize part shrinkage and warpage

Design, create and evaluate cooling circuits to achieve uniform cooling and minimize cycle time.
