Rapid variant analysis

In this whitepaper, Gollmer Formen and SIMCON show how to use VARIMOS rapid variant analysis to design better molds in less time.

Better than 'trial and error' simulation

To do this, Gollmer deploys a smart new way of working, which combines classical injection molding simulation to identify issues, with a novel method called rapid variant analysis using SIMCON’s unique solution VARIMOS.

Simulate, then vary

In the example shown here, Gollmer set up their variant analysis in two steps, first exploring whether injection parameters alone could fix the issue, only to discover that that was not enough, and then secondly subtly varying wall thicknesses, to get a significant improvement.

The result was a mold that went into serial production rapidly, and with only minimal corrections during tryouts.
