SOLIDWORKS Plastics is fully embedded in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for ease of use and data integrity. Ensure quick user familiarity by using the same user interface (UI) as SOLIDWORKS, including toolbars, menus, and context-sensitive right-click menus. Built-in tutorials and searchable online help facilitate learning and troubleshooting.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics supports SOLIDWORKS materials and configurations for easy analysis of multiple loads and product configurations.

With over 4,000 thermoplastic grades, you can browse and select what you need from a customizable built-in material library.

1SOLIDWORKS Plastics includes the following meshing capabilities: 1. Mesh Generation and Analysis Setup Wizard2, AutoMesh3, Local Mesh Refinement4, Global Mesh Refinement5, Boundary Mesh (Shell) 6 , solid 3D mesh

3D solvers benefit from multi-core CPUs (multi-threading).

Predict how the material will fill the cavity. Results include pressure and temperature distribution in the cavity, as well as detection of potential short shots and weld lines.

Predicts the plastic flow pattern in the cavity at the end of filling.

Predict sink depth after part is demolded and cooled to room temperature.

Results can be exported toeDrawing®

The time required to fill the entire mold.
Use the Fill Confidence legend to show the quality of the injection molding process.

User assistant for interpretation of results.

Displays the maximum pressure used to fill the cavity.
Displays the Cavity Temperature field at the end of filling.

Displays the melting front temperature history.

Shows the weld line formed where two (or more) melt fronts meet on a part.
Shows the location of sink marks.

Displays the shear rate reached at the end of filling to check the quality of the injection molding process.
Shows locations in the cavity where high pressure air may be trapped.

Estimate cooling time in fill time analysis.
Displays the cycle time of the current injection molding process.

Shows the partially frozen material that goes into the part at the end of the fill.

Displays the minimum clamping force for the current injection molding process.

Save computer simulation time by avoiding simulating two cavities at the same time in a symmetrical mold layout.

Evaluate the material freezing process in the cavity. Predict temperature to assess hot spots, gate freeze and cycle time. Distributions of pressure, stress and shrinkage results are also provided.

Determine runner parameters to balance fill between parts.
Automate the process of creating common flow control devices and components such as sprues, runners, and gates.

Quickly and easily simulate the effects of sprue and runner layouts.

At the start of the fill simulation, the hot runner is initially filled with hot polymer.

Simulate multiple cavities of the same part in the same mold.
Simulate a set of different cavity parts in the same mold.

Include the effect of mold inserts in the simulation
Displays the volume shrinkage distribution at the end of filling or packing.

Displays the density distribution at the end of the post-fill to check the packing stage quality.

Allows you to export part geometry in STL or NASTRAN format

Export mesh, residual stress, fiber orientation, and material data to run nonlinear analyses.

Cooling Channels: Simulate the inward flow of coolant for mold cooling analysis.
Cooling channels follow the shape or contour of the mold core or cavity in order to perform a fast and uniform cooling process.

Specific cooling lines for narrow passages into the cavity.

Domain categories assigned to runners allow easy selection of runner conditions.
Shows the location of sink marks and their depth.

Displays the displacement distribution due to stress within the mold.

Displays the displacement distribution due to stress within the mold.
