Predict and avoid manufacturing defects in plastic part designs and injection molds, eliminating costly rework, improving part quality, and reducing time to market.
SOLIDWORKS® Plastics provides easy-to-use simulations for analyzing plastic parts and injection molds. It simulates how molten plastic flows during the injection molding process to predict production-related defects, so you can quickly evaluate the manufacturability of parts during design.
Optimize plastic part production
Optimization that ensures the mold functions properly the first time, reducing or eliminating rework.
Easy to analyze design iterations at an early stage of your product development. Then the costs of change are minimal and the impact on manufacturability is greatest. In this way, you increase the quality of parts and reduce the amount of scrap.
Collaborate and Report
Automatically create reports that facilitate sharing and interpretation of simulation results. This makes it easy for you to facilitate collaboration between development teams.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics is fully embedded in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for ease of use and data integrity. Using the same user interface (UI) as SOLIDWORKS in toolbars, menus and context-sensitive right-click menus provide quick familiarity. Built-in tutorials and online searchable help learning and troubleshooting.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics supports SOLIDWORKS materials and configurations for easy analysis of multiple loads and product configurations.
With 4,000+ commercial thermoplastic grades, you can browse and select the one you want from the customizable built-in material library.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics includes these meshing features: Wizard for mesh generation and analysis settings. Automatic mesh refinement of local networks. Global mesh refinement. Boundary Mesh (Shell). Solid 3D mesh
The 3D Solver benefits from a multi-core CPU (multiple threads).
Predicts how material fills the cavity. Results included cavity pressure and temperature distributions and the detection of potential short shots and weld lines.
Automatically determines up to 10 injection sites on the partial cavity. SOLIDWORKS Plastics adds injection sites to the part based on the geometry and optimized balanced fill pattern.
Predicts the plastic flow pattern through the cavity at the end of the fill.
Predicts the depth of sink marks after the part has been ejected and cooled to room temperature.

Simulates the refrigerant flowing in for mold cooling analysis.
Specific cooling pipe for narrow channel in the cavity.
Domain category assigned to the runner allows easy selection for the conditions of the runner.
Shows the location of sink marks and their depth.
Shows the mold temperature distribution at the cool end.
Displays the displacement distribution due to in-mold stress.
