Plastic Injection is a native app that you can use to:
Before you use Plastic Injection, you must define all required parts. For example, you must have a model of the part cavity defined as a single solid part. If you plan to simulate the temperature distribution in the mold, you must also define any mold cooling lines as solid parts. You can use the Functional Plastic Parts or Mold Tooling Design apps to create these parts. Once you have a model, Plastic Injection lets you create Fill, Pack, and Mold simulations. You can use the results of these simulations to predict:
The results include animations of the plastic material filling the part cavity, which you can use to diagnose some of the problems listed above. The results also include filling pressure and clamping force predictions, which you can use to select an appropriate machine for producing your part.
