SOLIDWORKS PLASTICS PROFESSIONAL
Multi-Cavity Mold Design Simulation Software
Advanced Simulation Tools for Multi-Cavity Mold Designs
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional gives the user the ability to create runner channel design based on sketch lines or 3D modeled runner systems such as a filled hot runner, allowing simulation of multi-cavity layouts with runner systems. With the runner balancing tool, designers can optimize the sprue, runner channel, and gate sizes to ensure even flow and injection pressures between the mold cavities. The professional package adds the packing phase to the analysis, providing results such as a part mass/time plot, part density, and residual stress.
Tools
SOLIDWORKS Plastics PROFESSIONAL
Includes all the tools of SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard but with the addition of advanced tools to ensure a consistent processing and testing window before tool machining.
Symmetry Analysis
Saves computing time by simulating a single cavity in a symmetric mold layout.
Family Molds
Simulates cavities of different parts in the same mold.
Packing Phase (2nd Stage Injection)
Uses SOLIDWORKS configurations and materials to simply analyze iterations.
Mold Inserts
Can see the impact of mold inserts on the analysis. Can specify different mold insert material to see effect on cooling.
Runner Balancing
Runs through iterations of runner parameters to balance filling time and pressures in a family mold layout.
Volumetric Shrinkage
Shows the scale of volumetric shrinkage at the end of the fill and packing phases.
Runner Design Wizard
Automates creation of the sprues, runners, and gates for the mold layout.
Density at End of Pack
Displays the material density at post filling end. Analyzes the packing phase quality.
Sprues and Runners
Can be created based on sketches or 3D modeled bodies, the simulation will show the impact on fill time and pressure drop.
Exports STL, NASTRAN
Allows the export of part geometry in STL or NASTRAN formats.
Hot and Cold Runners
Have the option to specify if the runner system stays filled with melted polymer (hot runner manifold system) or has a cold runner that fills and solidifies with each cycle.
Export with Mechanical Properties ABAQUS®, ANSYS®, DigiMat®
Exports the mesh, residual stress, fiber orientation, and material data to run a non-linear analysis.
Multi-cavity Molds
Simulates multiple cavities of the same part.

Frequently Asked Questions
UPGRADE SOLIDWORKS Plastics
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard is the premier mold cavity testing software for part designers. It contains analysis tools that allow plastic part designers to validate and optimize part designs for the injection molding process. This is a great tool for the plastic part designer to use to detect potential molding defects before manufacturing begins.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium is the top-level injection molding analysis software tool available on the market. Plastics Premium gives you access to all of the tools that SOLIDWORKS Plastics has to offer. The advanced cooling and warp analysis tools are one of the many advanced features to get the most accurate shrinkage and warp prediction possible.
