SimulPlast

What SimulPlast does

SimulPlast s.r.o. is a privately held Czech technical consulting firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Lipník nad Bečvou. The company serves injection molding manufacturers, mold manufacturers, design offices, and polymer/composite producers in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Austria), with exclusive distribution rights for Moldex3D simulation software in Czech Republic and Slovakia and broader distribution for Digimat nonlinear material modeling software. Its core offering centers on 3D mold flow simulation (filling, packing, cooling, warpage), structural FEA analysis using Marc with Digimat-derived anisotropic material data, and a proprietary in-house laboratory established in 2011 for defect analysis (FTIR, DSC, TGA, rheology, microscopy, hardness testing).

The company's product portfolio combines third-party CAE platforms — Moldex3D (in eDesign, Professional, and Advanced tiers), Digimat (MF, FE, MX, CAE, MAP, HC, AM, RP, VA modules), and Marc — with proprietary tools developed in-house: ToolChecker (mold construction verification), PriceChecker (production costing), and InjectionChecker (injection parameter design), all launched November 2024. The platform integrates with major CAD systems (PTC Creo, Siemens NX, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Parasolid, JT) and structural solvers (Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, Nastran, Radioss), and ships with a material database of more than 8,000 plastics.

SimulPlast monetizes through quote-based, multi-year contracts combining one-time software licenses (Moldex3D/Digimat/proprietary tools), professional simulation and laboratory analysis services, technical training programs in injection molding technology and mold construction, and onsite consulting for material selection, process optimization, and complaint resolution. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct outreach via website quote forms, in-person training seminars held regularly in Lipník nad Bečvou, annual Moldex3D user meetings, and a free Moldex3D Viewer for self-serve adoption. The firm operates with 1-10 employees, retains dozens of enterprise customers, and has trained thousands of workers across its territory over more than ten years.

Core offering

SimulPlast distributes professional CAE software (Moldex3D, Digimat, and proprietary ToolChecker/PriceChecker/InjectionChecker tools) and delivers complementary technical services — mold flow simulation, structural/FEA analysis, in-house laboratory testing, training, and consulting — to injection molders, mold manufacturers, design offices, and polymer producers across Central Europe. The company holds exclusive Moldex3D distribution rights for Czech Republic and Slovakia and integrates Moldex3D with Digimat and Marc into a unified injection-molding-to-structural-analysis workflow.

Product overview

SimulPlast offers a comprehensive platform-plus-modules portfolio centered on Moldex3D, a professional 3D injection molding simulation software (moldflow) available in three tiers: eDesign (entry), Professional (mid), and Advanced Solution (high). Core analysis modules include Flow, Pack, Cool, Warp, MCM, and RIM, supplemented by numerous specialized Add-on modules for fiber orientation (Fiber), structural stress (Stress), hot runner optimization, optics analysis, foam injection, gas/water-assisted molding, and multi-component processes. The platform integrates with CAD systems (PTC Creo, NX, SOLIDWORKS) via the SYNC module and with structural FEA software (Abaqus, ANSYS, Marc, LS-DYNA) via the FEA Interface. Additional products include Digimat (nonlinear material modeling platform with MF, FE, MX, CAE, MAP, HC, AM, and VA modules), ToolChecker (mold design verification), PriceChecker (costing), and InjectionChecker (process parameter design). The company also provides professional analysis services, laboratory testing, training, and consulting as complementary service offerings.
