High speed with precise analysis by Light 3D technology and, technical supports are our advantages.

The 3D TIMON™ series use a technology called Light 3D. Light 3D technology use 1-layered mesh in thickness direction to reduce simulation scales and generates 20 internal calculation points in thickness to keep the accurate simulation. It allows highly accurate simulation using solid elements in short time. As a result, solid (3D) elements can be calculated in a short time with high accuracy. Use of multi-layer solid elements is also possible. In addition, hybrid meshes that combine beam elements, shell elements (triangle, quadrilateral), and solid elements (tetra, penta, hexa) can be used. Another feature of 3D TIMON™ is the ability to efficiently find solutions to molding defects by using package software for sensitivity calculation and optimization, and PD Advisor. Our support service has been highly evaluated for its extensive know-how on plastics possessed by Toray Group as material manufacturers and thorough technical support unique to in-house development.

There are about 600 companies and 1000 licenses sold in Japan and overseas. (As of 2019)

3D TIMON™ is used by customers in various industries both in Japan and overseas. In Japan, we have expanded our business since 2004, (As of March, 2019) its share has reached 30%. For overseas, we set up distributors in Europe, America, China, Korea and Southeast Asia to promote global expansion. 3D TIMON™ users introduce their case studies at annual User's conference.

You can predict defects such as short shots, weld lines, sink marks, and warpage.

In addition to the above, 3D TIMON™ can evaluate float of glass fiber and uneven gloss on parts based on various physical quantities output by 3D TIMON™. Countermeasures against weld lines and warp deformation can be easily derived with the optimization module "AMDESS for 3D TIMON™".

Yes.

Composite material molding can be analyzed with 3D TIMON™ - CompositePRESS, and urethane foam molding can be analyzed with 3D TIMON™ - FoamMolding. In addition, 3D TIMON™ - ReactiveMOLD supports transfer molding of thermosetting resins, and 3D TIMON™ - AMSolution supports prediction of shrinkage, warpage, and anisotropic strength of 3D printer models.

3D TIMON™ can be used on a 3D CAD PC.

It works on a Windows PC running 3D CAD such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX (no high-end calculation server for analysis is required). As a guide, CPU 3GHz or more, 4 cores or more, memory 16GB or more, disk capacity 500GB or more. When selecting hardware, place importance on the CPU clock frequency, which is related to calculation time. However, 3D TIMON™ can calculate at high speed without using many CPUs, so 1 CPU and 4 cores are sufficient. Since the graphic board does not display large assemblies, an entry class is sufficient.
