SimpoeWorks
The natural choice for SolidWorks users
SimpoeWorks is the
first and only complete plastic injection simulation solution fully
embedded into the SolidWorks graphic user environment.
Thanks to SimpoeWorks, a
SolidWorks Gold Partner product, SolidWorks users can now optimize
the design and the tooling of their plastic parts, and minimize
their manufacturing costs, without ever leaving their familiar
everyday graphic user environment.
SimpoeWorks allow SolidWorks
users to simulate the complete manufacturing process of their
plastic parts, from filling to warpage.
With SimpoeWorks
, SolidWorks users can identify early into the design stage
potential manufacturing problems, study alternative solutions and
directly assess the impact of such part or process modification,
always in the SolidWorks graphic environment. The seamless
integration of SimpoeWorks with SolidWorks really "closes the
loop" of plastic part design and manufacturing optimization,
whatever the complexity and geometry of such parts, shell parts as
well as plain solid parts.
The SimpoeWorks software
suite includes the following packages:
- SimpoeXplorer for
SolidWorks is the entry level in the SIMPOE software
solutions world. SimpoeXplorer is targeted to product designers and
casual users, who want to identify potential product glitches early
on in the product design. SimpoeXplorer will be able to identify
weld lines, unfilled areas, burns, optimum gate(s) location(s),
required press capacity,etc… Case sensitive pop up windows will
help and advise the user during the product design
process.SimpoeXplorer benefits from the speed, ease of use
and all-in one approach of all SIMPOE software solutions, and can
deal with shell as well as plain solid parts, parts.

ENG is more specifically targeted to the Engineers
in charge of industrialization of the products.They will be able,
in addition to the benefits offered by SimpoeXplorer, to
identify sink marks locations, optimize press parameters, define
optimum cooling time, test their own plastic materials, optimize
multiple gate systems. The ENG package will also allow simulation
of more advanced processes like overmolding, multishot molding,
inmold labeling or gas assisted injection.
- SimpoeWorks
MFG is designed to help part manufacturers optimize
the use of their production equipment, and therefore minimize part
manufacturing costs.In addition to the ENG package, the MFG package
offers the ability to simulate part deformation, in either
direction or globally, due to inmold constraints or after part
ejection., as well as quantitative evaluation of sink marks. The
MFG package also offers other state of the art functionality, as
the ability to export the counter-deformed geometry, in order to
optimize mold design.
- SimpoeWorks
TOOL is the SIMPOE solution targeted to moldmakers
and tooling engineers.In addition to the functionalities found in
the MFG package, they will be able to thoroughly analyse and
optimize the efficiency of the cooling system of the mold. Conform
cooling simulation, where the cooling channels follow complex
shapes as an offset of the surface of the part to be manufactured,
is also included in this package.
SimpoeWorks requires an active SolidWorks licence to
run.
