2 2 Boost your R&D and Reduce Production Costs SHORTEN CYCLE TIME Use REM3D to determine optimum packing time for minimum warpage. IMPROVE MOLD DESIGN Use REM3D to determine the best position for runners, coolers and/or heating cartridges. OPTIMIZE YOUR INJECTION PROCESS Use REM3D to determine the inner pressure and consequently optimize the clamping force. OPTIMIZE YOUR EXPANSION PROCESS Use REM3D to determine the best balance of foam polyurethane filling and find out the optimal weight for ideal filling. Free Surface Flow Automatic Anisotropic Adaptive Meshing Navier-Stokes Rheological Fully Parallelized Coupled Thermal Chemical With the best results accuracy on the market you can validate and optimize your complex polymer injection processes with unlimited number of materials. Using 3D finite elements resolution, REM3D simulates full injection cycle of thermoplastics or thermosets molding processes. Fibers Orientation

6 6 High Performance Computing Proven real-world accuracy: REM3D simulates your planned or existing injection processes with unmatched accuracy. It enables to confidently make planning and production decisions and avoid unpleasant surprises. Performance and scalability: REM3D is based on a performance-optimized architecture and can be deployed on one or many processor cores, providing the level of simulation power you need without limitation! Computation time X2 FASTER X4 FASTER X6 FASTER 8 cores 16 cores 32 cores 64 cores Computation time versus number of computer cores Easy setup and accessibility: REM3D intuitive user interface makes it easy to model your process environment and quickly begin running injection simulations. REM3D offers unlimited access to graphical user interface for pre- and post-processing which means that simulation results can be analyzed from as many computers as needed.
