Functional Value

The ‘Auto-Injection Locations’ feature assesses the part geometry to identify up to 4 suitable injection locations. Obtain injection location suggestions in a few seconds thus saving time that you would normally spend in running several analyses to determine these locations.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Plastics Materials Database is updated as follows:

* Added 26 new plastics material grades (EMS-GRIVORY: 14, SABIC Specialties: 10, Trinseo: 2).

* Renamed or updated 51 grades with the manufacturer’s latest material data.

* Removed 6 obsolete grades.

This release also features the following enhancements aimed at improving the overall accuracy of the plastics injection molding simulations:

* For part inserts, you can now specify their initial temperatures.

* Enable Mold-Melt Heat Transfer Coefficient for the Fill and Pack analyses to account for heat flux between the polymer melt and the mold wall.

Analyses jobs submitted to the cloud are now routed to the Grid Compute Infrastructure for efficient solve.
