Benchmarking Simulation Software: How One Molder Did It

摘要

Injection mold simulation has become a standard tool for molders and mold designers. Like any tool, it should be appropriate to thejob at hand and it should be comfortable to use. In those regards- as well as others, such as cost-there is room for individual choice. But how is a molder to select from the handful of competing simulation software packages? They are big, complex programs that take time to learn well enough to make comparative judgments. Given the substantial investment involved, and the great potential value of simulation to a molder's bottom line, it is not a choice to be taken lightly.
