SIMPOE SAS, headquartered in Torcy, France, is a French software developer specializing in Medical plastic mold simulation solutions. SIMPOE SAS announced today the immediate availability of its new Simpoe-Designer medical plastic simulation software product line. Simpoe-Designer is a stand-alone version of SIMPOE flagship product Simpoe- Mold, but which also includes its own embedded CAD kernel.

Besides the traditional advantages brought by all SIMPOE products: ease of use, speed and affordability, Simpoe-Designer brings two major benefits to plastic parts product designers, manufacturers and mold makers:

The ability, in addition to IGES , STEP and STL formats, to read most CAD model files in their native formats: SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, Acis, Parasolid, Autocad Inventor, UG, Solid Edge, etc.
The ability to directly modify the geometry, to assess the impact of model changes on the part manufacturability, and therefore optimize the part and its manufacturing process, without having to go back to the original CAD model each time.
The Simpoe-Designer software family includes four modules:

Simpoe-Designer FILL, the base package, to simulate complete part filling, including temperature fields and pressure curves, weld lines, air traps, etc. Simpoe-Designer FILL also includes SIMPOE powerful pre-and post processing technology, as well as the 5000+ material data base, which can be also customized with a few clicks.
Simpoe-Designer PACK, for packing simulation.
Simpoe-Designer COOL, for complete thermal exchange regulation. Cooling channels and cooling surfaces, even with complex shapes, can be directly created in Simpoe-Designer.
Simpoe-Designer WARP, which, in addition, simulates the complete part deformation due to warpage and material shrinkage. The deformed model information can be linked to structural analysis codes, such as Abaqus, for further part mechanical analysis.
