Successful simulation
Good advice for better simulation results
Simulation is a powerful tool when used correctly. Here we share our best advice for creating robust and reliable Moldex3D results in your organisation.
Develop a long-term strategy
Make a long-term plan for how simulation is to be used and developed in the organisation. This creates direction and ensures that the technology supports the business.
Establish systematic processes
Define clear workflows for when and how simulation is carried out, so that potential problems are identified early – not only once they arise.
Get involved early in product development
Use simulation as early as possible. The earlier a problem is discovered, the easier and cheaper it is to change the design.
Build skills continuously
Ensure ongoing training and knowledge sharing. Skills development is an important prerequisite for getting the most out of simulation.
Create critical mass
Make sure several employees have simulation skills. This makes the organisation less vulnerable and strengthens learning and knowledge sharing.
Communicate the results clearly
Present simulation results clearly and understandably with relevant images, documentation and personal dialogue.
Be aware of organisational resistance
New working methods can challenge existing habits and processes. Therefore, see the implementation of simulation as both a technical and an organisational change task.
Involve the entire value chain
Involve relevant functions from design and tooling to production. This leads to better decisions and stronger ownership of the results.
Make the benefits visible
Document and highlight savings, quality improvements and other concrete results. This makes the value of simulation visible in the organisation.
Define clear goals
Determine in advance what the simulation needs to answer. This makes it easier to choose the right level of detail and the right analysis methods.
Give the process time
Give both the simulation and the implementation time to deliver results. Haste and time pressure can reduce quality and benefits.
