Developed by SIMCON, a spin-off of Germany’s prestigious RWTH Aachen University, CADMOULD relies on highly optimized proprietary algorithms. It introduces two rapid-solving pathways: the traditional 2.5D surface mesh method (3D-F) and a high-speed 3D volumetric mesh method (3D-V).
Because it evaluates millions of degrees of freedom in true 3D space, Moldflow provides incredibly granular data. However, this level of detail requires significant computational power and longer solve times. 2. Speed vs. Accuracy Trade-Off cadmould vs moldflow hot
Here’s a breakdown of how they stack up against each other to help you decide which one fits your workflow. 1. Core Philosophy & Engine Developed by SIMCON, a spin-off of Germany’s prestigious
If you are troubleshooting hot runner short shots or burn marks due to overheating, Cadmould gives you more thermal detail. If you are debugging valve gate timing , stick with Moldflow. Accuracy Trade-Off Here’s a breakdown of how they
Generating a flawless 3D mesh for a complex hot runner system alongside an intricate multi-cavity part requires highly skilled labor. Users frequently deal with aspect ratio errors, chordal height variations, and connectivity issues between the beam-to-3D transitions. SIMCON CADMOULD: The Speed of 3D-F (3D Layer Technology)
Cadmould’s mesher is widely praised for handling "dirty" CAD files more effectively and is often considered more automated and robust out of the box. This leads to a faster setup workflow.
You run multi-drop hot runners, care deeply about shear-induced flow imbalance , or want fast hybrid 1D/3D simulation without going full 3D.
