Moldex3D Help 2022

Moldex3D 3D coolant CFD module provides simulation tools for users to understand cooling system efficiency and further achieve design optimization. Moldex3D helps companies to develop products with high quality and low costs and win in a globally competitive market.

There are two analysis type of cooling channel analysis:

1. Run cooling channel network analysis: cooling channels are depicted by lines. Therefore, 1D data along the flow direction will be displayed.

Run cooling channel network analysis option at Tag of Computation parameter

2. Run 3D solid cooling channel analysis: cooling channels are depicted by solid mesh or 2.5D surface mesh. Therefore, 3D data along the flow direction will be displayed.

3D solid cooling channel analysis is applicable for both Fast Cool and Standard Cool. Additional cooling results provided by 3D solid cooling channel analysis are as follows:

•Cooling Channel Reynolds Number (Standard Cool only)

•Coolant temperature

•Coolant pressure

•Coolant velocity (Standard Cool only)

•Coolant velocity vector (Standard Cool only)

•Stream line

Additional results of 3D solid cooling channel analysis for fast and standard cool mesh

Coolant temperature

Coolant pressure

Coolant velocity vector

Stream lines includes flow length and total velocity

•Estimate properties (Temperature, Pressure Velocity, Streamline, etc.) inside the cooling channels and add-ons (ex. bubbler, baffle, etc.)

•Support complex cooling design, including multi-inlet and multi-outlet designs.

•Investigate the influences of various coolant designs on molding process and product qualities, including shrinkage, warpage, Reynolds number, etc.

•Revise the existing mold/product design in a good way.

•Realize the roots of problems and trouble-shoot easily.

•Accumulate knowledge to make it as know-how and become design criteria.
