Moldflow Design Analysis Solutions Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA®) solutions enable you to predict and solve injection molding manufacturing problems in the earliest stages of product development.

Manufacturing constraints can be considered at the same time as form, fit and function. MPA products are easy to learn and use and do not require extensive training or plastics expertise. With the power of Moldflow's patented Dual Domain™ technology, users can work directly from 3D solid CAD models without the need to create or even view a finite element mesh, saving hours to days to weeks of model preparation time. Intuitive result displays and detailed design advice help users to quickly optimize part and mold designs. An automatic web-based report generator facilitates communication of results among all members of the design-to-manufacturing team.

Moldflow Part Adviser

The Moldflow Part Adviser™ module is the ideal tool to quickly check the manufacturability of your plastic part design when the cost of change is least — early in the design process. Users can get rapid feedback on how modifications to wall thickness, gate locations, material or geometry can affect the filling pattern and pressure and temperature distributions in the part cavity. The analysis results and detailed design advice can be used to determine the optimum part thickness and gate locations as well as to identify and eliminate cosmetic issues such as weld lines, air traps and sink marks.
 

Moldflow Mold Adviser

The Moldflow Mold Adviser™ module extends the capabilities of the Moldflow Part Adviser to allow you to create and simulate plastic flow through single cavity, multi-cavity and family molds. Users can optimize gate type, size and location as well as runner layout, size and cross-sectional shape. Analysis results include cycle time, clamp tonnage, and shot size, all of which help the design-to-manufacturing team size the injection molding machine, minimize cycle times and reduce manufacturing waste. Optional Moldflow Mold Adviser add-on modules allow users to simulate more phases of the injection molding process and evaluate molded part performance and cooling circuit design.
