Plastic part design: Moldex3D now offers interface for Siemens' NX software

Moldex3D, one of the leading CAE simulation programs for injection molding, is developed and marketed by CoreTech System Co. Ltd. (Hsinchu, Taiwan). The program helps processors with plastic part validation and mold optimization, with analysis of filling, packing, cooling, warpage, fiber orientation, insert molding and more.

With the new interface, NX users are able to synchronize their design changes with Moldex3D simulations. Specifically, within the NX environment, designers are able to directly launch Moldex3D/eDesign analyses and acquire simulation as they make changes to a part's design, helping speed modification and optimization. "Seamless integration between CAD and Moldex3D has been one of the strongest demands of our customers. The release of 'eDesignSYNC for NX' is expected to benefit the mutual users of NX and Moldex3D with a flexible simulation-driven design platform," said Venny Yang, CoreTech's president.

Added Joan Hirsch, VP, product design solutions, Siemens PLM Software, "NX is widely used throughout the plastic mold industry for part design, tool design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and the integration of Moldex3D/eDesign will create additional value for our mutual customers for part design validation and mold optimization."
