NX Integrated Injection Molding Simulation Tools
Using NX to tool injection molds? What many NX users already know is that the NX product portfolio is massive. Some products range from advanced CAM capabilities to data management. What many injection molders are not aware of is that NX has an affordable and highly reliable injection molding simulation set of tools built right into your NX interface. It’s called NX EasyFill Advanced!
Let me preference the rest of this article with a very clear statement, there is no substitute for experience, many injection molders know how the plastics in their portfolio are going to behave based on years of experience. The problem with this is, however, an injection molders customer needs to see the data that validates the experience, this is where simulation can be a valuable tool. What if you have inexperienced designers that need some help being confident with design proposals or modifications? Again, running a quick simulation to check for defects such as short shots or potential burn marks and be a great way to keep project timelines on track.
So, what exactly is NX EasyFill Advanced? Simply put it is an embedded tool inside of NX that allows users to run filling, packing, warp, and cooling analysis on plastic materials that range from popular polypropylenes to more advance glass-filled nylons. Like other simulation tools, better data that is put in will get users better data out. NX EasyFill Advanced lets users set up their simulations the way they need. Users can control mesh density, entering process conditions on injection pressures, cycle times, access to prepopulated material libraries and many other details that play a roll in validating high-quality molds and parts.
Another large perk of leveraging NX EasyFill Advanced is that all your data stays in NX. If your company today uses a third-party solution, you know that there is a risk of exporting data out of a design platform and into a simulation tool. By housing all your data inside of NX the risk of losing data that is important to simulation results are greatly reduced. Also, like NX when you are up to date on NX maintenance, your simulation tools are always getting the best-populated libraries, best simulation tools, and full product support from your NX partner, CAM Logic.
