Simulation & CAE
Virtual Manufacturing before Physical Steel.
Predicting Reality. Eliminating Risks.
Optimizing Design Before Cutting Steel
At SUASE, we believe that 80% of mold quality is determined during the design phase. CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) simulation is not just a step in our process; it is the foundation of our engineering strategy.
By creating a "Digital Twin" of the molding process, we utilize advanced software like Moldflow and LS-DYNA to predict potential issues such as air traps, weld lines, warpage, and fiber orientation. This data-driven approach allows us to optimize gate locations and cooling channels virtually, saving weeks of trial time and reducing costs.
Core Analysis Capabilities
Comprehensive simulation covering every aspect of the molding cycle.
Filling Analysis
Predicts melt front advancement, injection pressure, and clamping force. Identifies air traps and weld lines for optimal gate placement.
Warpage Prediction
Simulates shrinkage and deformation post-molding. We use this data to apply "windage" (reverse compensation) to the mold steel design.
Cooling Analysis
Optimizes cooling channel layout to ensure uniform heat dissipation, reducing cycle time and residual stress.
Fiber Orientation
Critical for SMC/GMT. We simulate fiber flow to predict anisotropic strength properties and avoid weak points in structural parts.
Expertise in Compression Simulation (SMC/GMT)
While many companies simulate injection molding, few have mastered the complexity of Thermoset Compression Molding.
SUASE utilizes specialized solvers to simulate the flow of high-viscosity composite materials like SMC and GMT. We accurately predict charge placement effects, fiber breakage, and weld lines in compression molding, ensuring structural integrity for heavy-duty truck parts and battery enclosures.
