CoreTech Releases Moldex3D eXplorer 2011 for Solid Edge

By DE Editors

CoreTech System Co. Ltd. has announced the release of Moldex3D eXplorer 2011 for Solid Edge, the digital product design software from Siemens PLM Software. Moldex3D eXplorer is a part verification tool embedded in mainstream CAD software. It provides industrial designers a validation tool to check part quality and manufacturability when creating a CAD model.

With its filling analysis capabilities, the program is intended to detect major molding problems—such as flow imbalance, air traps, weld lines, and design mistakes—early in the design phase. Moldex3D eXplorer 2011 supports Solid Edge ST3 and the latest release, ST4.

Moldex3D eXplorer for Solid Edge allows users to set up process conditions in their native design environment. Its automatic mesh generator will directly export CAD models into good-quality mesh and run a filling analysis. With the support of parallel computing equipped up to 4 cores, the average analysis time is estimated to be less than 30 minutes.

The new program also provides filling analysis results, including melt front time, pressure, melt front temperature, gate contribution, weld lines, air traps, etc. It is intended to help users check gate locations and flow balance, prevent short shots and air traps, control weld line locations, and lower the effects of pressure loss and residual stress.
