Besides the part geometry, 3-D injection molding simulation now also takes into account factors promoting the efficient design of injection molds and assisting process control during production. A case study makes clear the benefit of process-oriented simulation with the example of a decision in favor of a cooling concept tailored to requirements...

Simulation has established itself as an invaluable tool for design engineers in developing new parts and deciding what materials to use in metalcasting or plastic injection molding manufacturing processes. In the past, such simulation tools were used by analysis groups. The operators of such tools were specialists who would “setup and run” simulations. Today, however, design engineers need to be able to provide answers to questions regarding all areas of the manufacturing process, requiring communication between all members of the production team...
