The Decision Center: Your Compass to Design Innovation

Every week I meet up with my customers to understand how they use CFD to see if I can help add value to their simulation process. I have noticed it is not uncommon for me to hear that they do not use the Decision Center, and are also unaware of what it is,

Moldflow Voxel Solver

In the past, complex 3D cooling analyses, such as conformal cooling and rapid heating and cooling, have used Moldflow’s Finite Element Meshing (FEM) solvers to mesh cooling channels. This technology originated from a link to Autodesk CFD software, where CFD would mesh the channels, then Moldflow would incorporate those meshed channels into it’s simulation to use toward thermal calculations.

Resolving Visual Defects

When looking for a new car, one of the first things that draw in a buyer is the way the vehicle looks. If the car’s side panels aren’t aligned, if the front hood has a wavy appearance, or if there are depressions on the bumper, those can all have a negative effect on the potential buyer’s interest,

Early days: When Injection Molding Computer Simulation Was Born.

The mind of a mold builder never ceases to amaze me. Their creativity, ingenuity, and intelligence makes them impeccable problem solvers, which is why I thought you might be interested in getting inside the mind of a fellow problem solver to learn how he came up with a very popular simulation software.
