Mold analysis gets faster, easier, smarter.(MOLD SIMULATION: Close-Up)

Plastics Technology, February, 2006 by Naitove, Matthew H.

* On Dec. 28, Moldflow Corp. began shipping a major new release of its flagship injection mold simulation software, Moldflow Plastics Insight 6.0. MPI 6.0 is engineered to work much faster, be easier to use, and provide more useful information than before. Many of its enhancements are directed particularly at analyzing thick, solid parts--or thin parts with localized thick sections--using the MPI/3D module, which employs 3D solid-geometry mesh elements. Some of these new features will later be extended to more typical thin-shell plastic geometries that utilize conventional midplane analysis or Moldflow's proprietary "Dual Domain" surface-mesh technique, supplied in the MPI/Fusion module.

MPI 6.0 also enhances speed and accuracy in analyzing conventional...
