With SolidWorks Plastics we’ve introduced easy-to-use injection molding simulation directly to plastic parts designers.  Set-up your simulation using sequential UI functions located in the Plastics tab, and analyze your results to optimize your design.  Visual feedback of simulation results will help identify any potential problems up-front that require design tweaks such as short-shots, temperature distribution, air pockets, and more.

Here’s a short overview of some of the functionality included in SolidWorks Plastics.  Have a look, and try some simulation tests on your own designs.  Let us know what you think and if you have any questions, please post them.
