CADMOULD 3D-F PACK is a simulation module for the prediction of the holding pressure phase during the injection moulding cycle. The module takes the defined holding pressure profile (amplitude and duration) into account and is capable to predict the resulting clamping force.

This module is an ideal extension of the module Cadmould 3D-F Fill. Together these modules can simulate the injection moulding process starting with the injection of the melt ending after the holding pressure phase.

Typical users of this module are injection moulding processing companies and mould makers. Cadmould 3D-F pack is an additional module to Cadmould 3D-F Fill.

Cadmould 3D-F Pack is contained in the software package Cadmould 3D-F Warp Expert.
