Choosing the Right Mesh: When to Use 3D-F vs. 3D-V in Cadmould

Discover how 3D-F and 3D-V differ, when to use each, and tips on meshing, runtimes, and part geometry considerations.

Fundamentals
May 12, 2021

Cadmould provides two approaches for 3D simulation: 3D-F (framework) and 3D-V (volumetric). Cadmould offers two mesh strategies for 3D simulation: 3D-F (framework) and 3D-V (volumetric). This webinar shows how each works, how they differ, and when to use which. You’ll learn why 3D-F is faster and ideal for 98 % of injection-molded parts—and where 3D-V becomes necessary for highly solid or spherical geometries. Includes practical guidance on meshing, computation time, and typical use cases.
