Introduction

What is Moldex3D Studio
> Integrate pre-process, process/simulation, and post-

process/analysis stages all in one
> Support both Solid and eDesign mode for mesh
technology
Pre-Process Process
Integrated
interface
Post-Process
5
Why Moldex3D Studio
> Ultimate goals of Moldex3D Studio

– Integrate all CAE analysis stages all in one
– Promote less-click operation
– Support multi-run result comparison
– Provide high-rendering performance
– Support hot key operation
> Target customers of Moldex3D Studio

– Users who feel uncomfortable to open-close-open the
software when the pre-process is separated from simulation
and post-process stage
– Users who feel bothersome to open two different projects
just to compare two different runs

Key Features and Benefits

Integration for the Whole CAE Analysis Stages
> Easy, integrated workflow in Ribbon style

2 Meshing
3 1 2 4
3 Simulation
4 Result Analysis

Integration for the Whole CAE Analysis Stages (Cont.)
> Efficient for CAE analysis operation

– Less click for operation
– Save time to finish the workflow
– Reduce project file size (only one application to open)
A Sample case Click count Time cost (min)

(Skip solving)
Studio 33 3:41
Designer + Project 26+24 = 50 2:16+2:39
11
Multi-Run Result Comparison
> No need to open multiple projects to compare multiple

runs (either two runs or four runs)
12
Multi-Run Result Comparison (Cont.)
> Various available jobs:

– Same run, different time steps
– Same run, different results
– Different runs, same result
– Different run, different time steps
– Different run, different results
> Comparison windows:

– Two-window comparison
– Four-window comparison
13
Multi-Run Result Comparison (Cont.)
> Specific comparing tools:

– Sync angle: to view the objects in comparing windows at the
same angle
– Sync result: to set the results in comparing windows the
same (including the time step)
– Sync range: to set result color legend’s range the same;
same result must be set with the same range, so the
comparison becomes more relevant
> Flexibilities:
– One window independently does clipping/slicing/iso-surface
– One window independently does animation
(clipping/slicing/iso-surface/warpage)
14
Appealing and User-Friendly User Interface (UI)
> Ribbon-style UI: Home, Model, Mesh, Tool, Result,

Display, Utility
> Tree-style structure UI: Project, Model, Defect, Run
Information and Material
> High-rendering performance: smooth motion/animation
Ribbon Menu
Tree Structure:
Project Tree
Model Tree
Defect Tree

15
Signature Tool: Customize Center
> Customize center sets one point as rotation center for

easy, focused rotation control at particular region.
16
Signature Tool: Divide Face
> Divide face splits the face by curve/surface edge.
17
Signature Feature: Multi-Curve Time History Curve
Same Run, Same Analysis Same Run, Different Analysis
Different Run, Same Analysis Different Run, Different Analysis
18
Signature Feature: Fast Editing and Labeling
Function of XY-Curve
> Know the value on curve
– Provide the plot value when click on the curve.
– To remove the pinned label, just click the “close” button on
the right top corner.
Click to close the label
19
Function of XY-Curve (Cont.)
> Modify the range of coordinate
– Allow to Change Max/Min of X axis and Y axis.by clicking on
the axis.
Double click to change value
20
Function of XY-Curve (Cont.)
> The label will print all data of current plot curves. As
shown as the below figure, the label prints the Sprue
Pressure and Flow Rate at same time.
21
Signature Feature: Consistency
> Import all geometry components only from one tool

– Avoid any confusion about which tool to use for importing
any particular components
– Only need to specify each component’s attribute:
• Part
• Part insert
• Cold runner
• Hot runner
• Mold insert
• Moldbase
• Mold Plate (Movable)
• Mold Plate (Fixed)
• Cooling channel
• Heating rod
• Overflow
• Compression zone
• Hot runner metal
• Encapsulation component
22
Signature Feature: Probe Node
> Utilize Probe Node to replace Measure Node to display the

local information of model and analysis result
– Studio does not support Measure Node.
• Measure Node will automatically converted to Probe Node and
informed by message when importing mdg / mfe / mde file.
– Select / Show / Hidden / Delete in Model Tree

– Auto save Probe Node in database of the run
– Shows the value of the specified Probe Node result, and
Auto Layout.

Mesh Generation

Support Solid and eDesign Mesh Technologies
> Support both Solid and eDesign mesh technologies

– Offer flexibility for users to select their preferable mesh
technology
– Solid mesh technology indicates Designer BLM mesh

Conclusions

Conclusions
> Moldex3D Studio provides a simple, integrated workflow

to perform CAE analysis: all stages are in one application.
> Support an efficient workflow for the analysis by having

less-click operation, saving time to finish the whole
stages, and reducing the project file size.
> Support multi-run result comparison (complete with its

jobs, specific tools, and flexibilities) which is very
convenient to use during post-processing stage.
28
Conclusions
> Support appealing UI and high-rendering performance for

smooth motion and animation.
> Several signature tools/features that can ease the

operations in pre-process, process, and post-process.
> Higher flexibility for users to use either Solid (BLM) or

eDesign mesh technology to build mesh model in one
application.
