Material Wizard provides two options to create a new material file, Custom: If you have property data of a new material, you can select Custom to add the property data into Material Wizard. From Exterior Sources: If you find a new material in other sources, you can convert other format of the material file into Moldex3D format of the material file.

Physically accurate simulation is a requirement for initiatives such as late-stage prototyping, additive manufacturing, and digital twinning. Simulations use mathematical models to replicate physical reality. Verification and validation (V&V) is an important step for high-fidelity simulation. While verification is a way to check the accuracy of these models, factors such as simulation settings, element type, mesh size, choice of material model, material parameter conversion process, quality and suitability of material property data used can have a large impact on simulation quality. Validation presents a means to check simulation accuracy against a physical experiment. These validations are a valuable tool to measure solver accuracy prior to use in product development. Confidence is gained that the simulation replicates real-life physical behavior.

The modeling of material behavior for injection molded plastics is a vital step for good simulation results. We detail the types of material data needed by various injection-molding simulation programs, factors that can affect simulation quality including test techniques and process variables such as moisture content. The case of fiber filled plastics is covered along with the extension to structural analysis applications.

Physically accurate simulation is a requirement for initiatives such as late-stage prototyping, additive manufacturing and digital twinning. The use of mid-stage validation has been shown to be a valuable tool to measure solver accuracy prior to use in simulation. Factors such as simulation settings, element type, mesh size, choice of material model, the material model parameter conversion process, quality and suitability of material property data used can all be evaluated. These validations do not use real-life parts, but instead use carefully designed standardized geometries in a controlled physical test that probes the accuracy of the simulation. With this a priori knowledge, it is possible to make meaningful design decisions. Confidence is gained that the simulation replicates real-life physical behavior. We present three case studies using different solvers and materials, which illustrate the broad applicability of this technique.
