Designing with composite materials is challenging because their mechanical properties depend heavily on the manufacturing process.
The partnership between Hexagon’s MSC Software and CoreTech’s Moldex3D offers a specialized solution for reinforced plastics.
: Enhanced support for optical parts and multi-shot processes helps calculate residual stress more accurately.
is a multiscale material modeling platform that calculates the nonlinear behavior of complex materials like fiber-reinforced polymers.
: Moldex3D 2023 accurately calculates air temperature and pressure changes during the filling process, allowing for better venting design.
: The Digimat-RP interface simplifies the mapping of fiber orientations from the injection mesh to the structural mesh. How to Access the New 2023 Download
is the industry-leading plastic injection molding simulation software that predicts how plastic flows into a mold.
: The software seamlessly transfers results into solvers like MSC Nastran and Marc .
: Traditional "isotropic" assumptions often fail; Digimat uses local fiber orientation data from Moldex3D to predict exactly where a part might fail.
In the rapidly evolving world of composite materials and high-precision manufacturing, the integration of simulation tools is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. The workflow represents the pinnacle of this integration, bridging the gap between plastic injection molding and structural performance analysis . What is Hexagon MSC Digimat-CAE / Moldex3D?
