SimForm This software from Maya HTT, which makes thermal-fluid simulation software, can help injection and compression mold makers and part designers to optimize in-mold cooling; reduce shrinkage, warpage and defects of molded parts; improve surface quality and aesthetics; transition from idea to design more quickly; design better parts; and increase productivity. With it, molders can improve margins with fewer defects and faster cycles, and suppliers can simplify collaboration.

What’s new? The addition of a visualization library, released in April. Developed in collaboration with Maya HTT partner Zea Inc., Montreal, which offers an interactive digital twin platform, the new library streams results directly to a web browser, where users can review and examine the three-dimensional results of their mold cooling simulations. Also, SimForm now provides data regarding flow rate, temperature rise and heat removal.

Benefits Faster mold cooling simulations, available almost immediately. SimForm provides information about the cooling capacity of each circuit. Insights from the visualization library can help users identify which cooling channels would be effective, which should be split and which are unnecessary. Overall, with SimForm, users can develop more-efficient tooling, reduce cycle times and improve part quality.
