Injection Tools Sims 4
Irmgard Rossie
The Bovine Injection Simulator is a one-of-a-kind education tool. Use it to teach proper cattle injection techniques (including IV administration plus jugular, intramuscular and subcutaneous injections), ear tagging and growth implant basics. Additionally, incorporate the included curriculum for a complete experience.
The bovine injector simulator is a great tool for students to get the hands-on learning that they would not be able to otherwise have. The students loved being able to draw blood through the vein and felt so successful when they actually saw it in the syringe! I love how versatile it is with the different levels of learning.
The Animal Science CTE Pathway expanded this year to include a Veterinarian Science class as our capstone. We were looking for items that would help train students to diagnose and administer treatment to bovine as part of the curriculum. That is when one of my teachers suggested the RealityWorks Bovine Injector Simulator. The students love the real-world application and authentic feel for the equipment.
Realityworks provides comprehensive learning solutions that pair curriculum with hands-on learning aids, student activities and assessment tools to create innovative learning environments. These solutions are used in middle, secondary and post-secondary schools to engage students, teach needed skills and provide career exploration opportunities.
The two-way interface sim link enables data exchange between the simulation software and the injection molding machine. This saves a great deal of time between mold development and production and reduces the risk of a delayed production start. In addition, you reduce the sampling time to an absolute minimum.
The bonus of the data transfer between simulation software and injection molding machine: sim link offers the possibility to consider the dynamics of the machine selected for production. This allows you to decisively improve the quality of the simulation and adapt it to the real conditions on the machine. In addition, you can use sim link as a data interface to match simulation and measurement data very easily by inserting the measurement data from the injection molding machine directly into the simulation software.
After initial sampling and further sampling, molds usually have to be returned to the moldmaker for reworking. With sim link, you can skip many cost-intensive optimization loops and transfer the set target values in the filling simulation directly to the injection molding machine at the push of a button.
The values determined in the simulation can be imported directly into the machine control of your injection molding machines with the help of sim link. Time-consuming and error-prone manual input of data at the machine is no longer necessary due to the data exchange between simulation software and injection molding machine.
Various subject matter experts are involved in the product development process. The simulation engineer is a specialist for filling the cavity(ies), the process engineer for machine settings. sim link simplifies the collaboration between simulation and production staff.
With ENGEL sim link, we close the gap between the digital twin of the mold and the real injection molding process. This allows you to significantly reduce iteration loops in the sampling process. During process adjustment, the know-how gained during simulation can be used easily and systematically.
sim link, as an interface for data exchange between the simulation program and the injection molding machine, works with the simulation programs Cadmould from Simcon and Moldflow from Autodesk. The parameters determined during the filling simulation can be transferred to a set-up data record and used directly on the injection molding machine. The values transferred from the simulation are converted into set-up parameters and checked for use on the injection molding machine. This initial set-up suggestion can be used immediately on the machine and makes a significant contribution to reducing multiple manual adjustments on the machine.
As a powerful software solution, Autodesk Moldflow enables comprehensive injection molding simulations. The tool includes simulations for filling, holding pressure, warpage and cooling processes of various injection molding applications. These applications range from compact and 2-component molding to hybrid, internal gas pressure, foam, elastomer, silicone, and thermoset injection molding.
As an innovative solution for plastic injection molding simulation, CADMOULD enables the precise prediction and control of plastic behavior within the mold. Causes of problems such as air inclusions, weld lines or severe warpage can be reliably identified and addressed before production begins.
Moldex3D is the efficient 3D CAE software solution for designing and optimizing the injection molding process. It provides reliable, insightful, and precise results for component, tool and process optimization - from the first development step to final part production.
Hagleitner Hygiene International GmbH from Zell am See produces IoT-enabled hygiene & cleaning products for various industries. By using the ENGEL sim link tool for the first time, good parts were achieved more quickly from the simulation.
Plastics processors are under ever-increasing pressure to ensure consistently high product quality. Faulty tools should be rejected as quickly as possible. At the same time, plant operation must be energy efficient. Paul Kapeller, Head of Product Management for Digital Solutions, shows how you can master all these challenges.
Digitalization means producing more efficiently and utilizing the full potential of your injection molding machines. Our solutions support you along the entire product life cycle of your injection molding production.

In a recent conversation with a colleague, he told me he thought that SIM was Obsolete. I was confused. He and I both, have been practitioners of SIM for a long time. Either he knew something I did not or we had very different perspectives on the matter. After a few minutes, I realized that what he meant was that there are new process control technologies that greatly support the injection molding manufacturing, specifically feedback systems such as RJG, Priamus and others. He is absolutely right that these technologies provide an advantage. Yet, before monitoring or controlling, you must first start with the right design (material, part and mold) and put in place the manufacturing elements including, the right processing conditions that go into a successful molded component. That is the real contribution of SIM; providing the concepts, approaches and tools to create not just a successful product but also a successful molding operation (People, knowledge, best practices, standard work, etc.).
Just like Lean and Sigma, SIM is a package of tools and a set of foundational ideas (strategies) with the sole objective of improving quality and productivity in a manufacturing environment (in this case molding). Another similarity that SIM shares with Lean and Sigma, is that companies have put more focus on the tools (short term goal approach) rather than in the ideas and concepts. This, sometimes-unconscious approach, slows down the thorough implementation and only allows for a partial benefit.
Even though most people directly or intuitively agree with the above, there is a tendency in the industry to not follow these relations. For example; whenever a problem arises during production (a part quality issue) the first typical approach of the Engineers or Technicians is to change the process parameters rather than trying to understand what or which of the four pillars has changed. I believe that the process recipe (if properly set) is never the root cause of a quality issue. This will make more sense after you look at the other two foundational elements.
