for standard valve gate sequencing. Cadmould for complex thermal imbalance issues.
Developed by SIMCON, this is the "speed king." It uses a unique 3D-F solver (3D layered technology). While Moldflow requires a heavy mesh for accuracy, CADMOULD is designed to give you highly accurate results much faster and with less "meshing prep" headache. 2. Ease of Use cadmould vs moldflow hot
| Feature | Moldflow | Cadmould | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Huge (10,000+ grades with hot runner rheology data) | Smaller, but allows custom curve fitting | | Hot Runner CAD Import | Native (reads STEP/IGES directly into runner system) | Requires clean geometry; fewer auto-wizards | | Simulation Speed | Faster for single cavities | Faster for multi-cavity hot runners due to solver efficiency | | Result Interpretation | Color-coded "hot runner temperature drop" plots | Detailed temperature contour through manifold thickness | for standard valve gate sequencing
