Plastics Premium
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium includes everything in SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional plus advanced simulation functionality that allows CAE analysts and mold designers to analyze mold cooling line layouts and predict molded part warpage. Users can design and analyze simple or complex mold cooling line layouts, optimize cooling system design to minimize cycle times and decrease manufacturing costs and optimize part and mold design, material selection and processing parameters to reduce or eliminate molded part warpage
(SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard & Professional Capabilities Included)
Cooling Analysis
Estimate how long your part needs to cool down to the ejection temperature. Visualize where your part solidifies quickly and where it takes a longer duration. You will also be able to see how long it takes until your gate is solidified with the powerful visualization tools and determine the optimal duration of packing time.
Warpage Analysis
Predicts the final shape and dimensions of the part, after it has been ejected and fully cooled.
