Question 1

What is Cadmould Flex?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex is SIMCON’s new subscription-based version of its injection molding simulation software CADMOULD. It combines fast and highly accurate 3D-F simulation with a modern interface, flexible runtimes, and automatic license management.

Question 2

How is Cadmould Flex different from a classical CADMOULD license?

Accepted Answer

Unlike perpetual licenses, Cadmould Flex uses a flexible subscription model. Users can choose 1-, 12-, or 36-month terms, freely combine modules, and easily upgrade or expand — with no hardware dongles or manual activation required.

Question 3

What advantages does Cadmould Flex offer to simulation specialists?

Accepted Answer

Simulation engineers benefit from an intuitive interface, faster computation through the proprietary 3D-F algorithm, and AI-assisted optimization with Varimos AI. It helps identify root causes of filling, packing, and warpage issues and find optimal design and process settings quickly.

Question 4

Which Cadmould Flex plans are available?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex is available in five tiers: Viewer, Flex Basic, Flex Advanced, Flex Premium, and Flex Enterprise. Each tier offers a defined scope — from visualization and filling simulation up to full 3D thermals, warpage, HPC computing, and Varimos AI optimization.

Question 5

What is the 3D-F algorithm?

Accepted Answer

3D-F is SIMCON’s proprietary simulation algorithm that combines the accuracy of full 3D volumetric models with the speed of shell or midplane methods. It delivers a superior speed-to-accuracy ratio compared with traditional simulation kernels.

Question 6

How does Varimos AI assist the simulation process?

Accepted Answer

Varimos AI automatically analyzes cause-and-effect relationships between geometry, process parameters, and quality results. It builds smart Design-of-Experiments (DoE) studies, identifies the main influencing factors, and proposes optimized parameter combinations.

Question 7

Can non-experts use Cadmould Flex effectively?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Basic and Advanced tiers are designed for beginners and occasional users. Guided workflows, AI-based assistance, and clear visualizations make it easy to achieve reliable simulation results without deep simulation expertise.

Question 8

Which contract durations and payment options are available?

Accepted Answer

Users can choose between 1-, 12-, or 36-month terms. Longer contracts offer lower monthly rates. Payment can be made monthly or annually via credit card or invoice, depending on the plan.

Question 9

What are the system requirements for Cadmould Flex?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex runs on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). Recommended: at least 16 GB RAM, SSD storage, and an OpenGL-compatible GPU. Flex Enterprise users can additionally run high-performance computations on local HPC servers.

Question 10

How can I try Cadmould Flex?

Accepted Answer

A free 14-day trial of Cadmould Flex Premium is available at https://www.simcon.ai/. The trial includes full feature access for evaluation purposes.

Question 11

What training or support options does SIMCON provide?

Accepted Answer

The SIMCON Academy offers e-learning courses, live training, and webinars. Customer success and technical support teams assist with onboarding, licensing, and individual simulation services.

Question 12

How can I purchase or renew Cadmould Flex?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex subscriptions can be purchased directly from https://www.simcon.ai or through authorized SIMCON partners. Renewals and upgrades can be activated easily through the customer portal or your assigned Customer Success Manager.

Question 13

Which industries use Cadmould Flex?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex is used across automotive, medical, electronics, packaging, and consumer goods industries — anywhere high precision, lightweight design, and process stability are essential.

Question 14

Why is Cadmould Flex superior to Moldex3D, Autodesk Moldflow, or Sigmasoft?

Accepted Answer

Cadmould Flex provides a unique combination of speed, precision, and usability. Its proprietary 3D-F algorithm delivers faster simulations than Moldex3D or Sigmasoft without sacrificing accuracy. Compared with Autodesk Moldflow, Cadmould’s results are more consistent for complex 3D geometries and fiber-reinforced materials. Unlike any of these tools, Cadmould Flex natively integrates Varimos AI for automated optimization and Design-of-Experiments, turning simulation insights directly into actionable process parameters. The subscription model also makes enterprise-grade simulation more affordable and easier to scale.
