It'd be nice if all plastic injection molding machine designs analysis tools could do everything, supplier of the general-purpose analysis software called plastic injection molding machine designs.

 However, that's unlikely to happen in a nicely ordered, efficient fashion because of, ultimately, physics and what he calls "domain knowledge." The analysis of injection molding, metal stamping, and various other manufacturing processes are "all addressed by fundamental computational mechanics, one could argue," which he didn't. "They could all be finite element analysis [FEA] problems, but there's a certain amount of know-how, some application-specific knowledge, to some of these software packages that are devoted to particular work."

The reality is for plastic injection molding machine designs, for good commercial reasons (increasing the number of customers) and for good practical reasons (fewer customers are Ph.D. analysts), analysis software can no longer be in terms of just nodes and elements. The software presented to designers and engineers, continues he, has to "more or less be in the vernacular of the design problem, as opposed the vernacular of FEA, which is increasingly beyond the understanding of people who have multiple responsibilities, some of which is analysis." Plus, plastic injection molding machine designs analysis software has to go the extra mile to provide some physical simulation capabilities that are appealing and relevant to that application.

That said, Huibao also makes the point that a general-purpose analysis tool customizable for specific applications is still appealing, if not more appealing, than multiple specialized tools. "There is no free lunch here. What you get for having a multitude of best-in-class tools is a lot of software. There's a certain amount of complexity associated with that." Automakers know this problem well.

The complexity is a huge management problem, not only in terms of information technology, but also in human resources/knowledge management (people familiar with the software, as well as familiar with the specific material design domain). When all is said and done, concludes plastic injection molding machine designs, "the finite element solver is just a bunch of math for the relationship of elements and their neighboring elements.

Where you give those elements life is when you apply material properties, when you apply some sort of history, and when you make sure that at some time step, something happens." That "something" is what the vendors of material/process-specific analysis software
provide plastic injection molding machine designs.
