MoldflowXpress: An Entry-Level Version of Moldflow
Plastics Advisers® for SolidWorks®

Benefits

• Analyze the flow of melted plastic through an individual part through one injection location
• Database with over 20 grades of generic plastics material data
• Specify analysis parameters for melt temperature, mold temperature and injection time
• Results indicate whether the part will fill based on geometry, material, injection location and analysis parameters
• Visualize the flow of plastic as it fills the part
• Non-Newtonian, non-isothermal flow solver engine that assumes plastic melt incompressibility
• Supported Geometry
• Plastic
• Thin-walled
• Injection-molded
• Boundary conditions and analysis results can be saved with the SolidWorks model

Limitations*

• Unsupported geometry:
  - Parts with multiple injection locations
  - Mold components such as sprues, runners, gates and cooling circuits
  - Multi-cavity and family mold layouts
  - Thick solid parts
  - Assemblies
• No access to 7,500+ materials in the Moldflow commercial material database
• No pressure, temperature, weld line or air trap results

* Avoid these limitations by upgrading to Moldflow Plastics Advisers for SolidWorks
