Plastics Standard
For plastics part designers, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard enables you to optimize parts for manufacturability in the early stages of design. Easy to learn and use, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard is fully embedded within the SOLIDWORKS CAD environment so you can analyze and modify designs at the same time you optimize for form, fit, and function.
Filling Phase Simulation
Simulate the filling stage and generate different result plots to get insight of manufacturability.
Air Traps
Visualize regions where the air will be pushed to and provide a corresponding ventilation. By relocating the gate(s) or redesigning your part, you are able to guide the Airtraps to a desired venting location.
Short Shots
Visualize how far the flow front will reach, under pressure loss and insufficient filling.
