SOLIDWORKS Plastics Enhancements

The SOLIDWORKS Plastics solver is enhanced to improve the overall accuracy of simulation results.

  • The Mold-Melt Heat Transfer Coefficient parameter in the Injection Unit Settings PropertyManager is available for the Shell analysis procedure. Use this parameter to model the heat transfer between the polymer and the mold walls during the Filling stage of the injection molding process.

    In previous releases, this parameter was available for the Solid analysis procedure only and for the SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium products. This parameter is now available for the SOLIDWORKS Plastics standard as well.

  • For the Shell analysis procedure, the Flow and Pack analyses support multipoint material data and specific heat (C) and thermal conductivity (K) material properties that can vary with temperature.
