SIGMASOFT Virtual Molding North America

Better Crash Simulation Starts with Better Mold Simulation Accurately predicting failure in fiber-reinforced plastic parts requires more than just traditional mechanical analysis. By incorporating fiber orientation and weld line data from injection molding simulation, engineers can significantly improve the reliability of crash simulation results—especially when it comes to predicting deformation and failure. A recent collaborative project demonstrated how integrating molding simulation with structural analysis leads to more efficient development, higher-performing components, and reduced over-dimensioning. This is the power of virtual molding—delivering insight before the first part is ever molded. 💡 Curious how this approach could improve your simulations? 👉 Read the full case study

Honoring the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. This Memorial Day, we remember and express our gratitude for their courage and dedication. Let's take a moment to reflect on their legacy and the priceless gift of liberty they've given us. #MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen #Gratitude

While gating into thick wall sections allows you more control over the packing phase, it can lead to other issues such as jetting. Instead of having a typical fountain flow front, the material jets or streams into the cavity. This allows the melt to fold in on itself, creating a poor surface appearance on the part and likely leading to poor mechanical performance of the part. You can solve this issue by reducing the filling speed, coring out the part, or adjusting the gate design/location. Utilizing SIGMASOFT®, we can simulate these issues and stop them before they occur. #SIGMASOFT #thermoplastics #sigmasofttips

The “first good part” is a lie. Not because it’s impossible— but because it’s unpredictable without insight. How many trials does it take to get there? 2? 10? 50? Simulation changes the game: 👉 Understand the process before it runs 👉 Eliminate guesswork 👉 Reduce iterations dramatically Because the goal isn’t a lucky first shot. It’s a repeatable one. #Plastics #InjectionMolding #ProcessOptimization #SIGMA
