SOLIDWORKS Plastics Simulation

SOLIDWORKS Plastics Simulation helps you to optimise parts for manufacturing early in the design process. Now you can analyse and modify designs while you optimise for form, fit, and function.

For a limited time, buy one SOLIDWORKS Plastics Simulation licence and get the second half price, speak with the Visiativ team to learn more!*

  • Ensure parts are manufactureable while you design by testing them onscreen.

    SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard is easy to use, learn and fully embedded within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD enabling you to analyse and modify part designs while you optimise for form, fit and function.

    SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional builds takes it up a notch with mould design analysis capabilities. Quickly analyse single, multi-cavity, and family mould layouts including sprues, runners, and gates, to estimate cycle time and to optimise feed system design.

    SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium adds advanced simulation functionality to analyse mould cooling line layouts and part warpage.

+ Instantaneous Fill Time Plot
  • Predicts the plastic flow pattern through the cavity at the end of fill.
+ Sink Mark Analysis
  • Predicts the depth of sink marks after the part has been ejected and cooled to room temperature.
+ eDrawings Support
  • Results can be exported to eDrawing®
+ Fill Time
  • Time needed to fill the whole mould.
+ Ease of Fill
  • Displays the quality of the injection process with ‘confidence of fill’ legend.
+ Results Adviser
  • User assistant for interpreting results.
+ Pressure at End of Fill
  • Displays the maximum pressure to fill the cavity.

+ Family Moulds
  • Family Moulds
+ Mould Inserts
  • Include the impact of mould inserts on the simulation
+ Volumetric Shrinkage
  • Displays volumetric shrinkage distribution at the end of fill or pack.
+ Density at End of Pack
  • Displays density distribution at post-filling end to check the pack phase quality.
