Cascade Engineering Presents New Simulation Analysis Tool to Users Group in Japan

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, August 30, 2004, - Cascade Engineering is spearheading another innovation, recently teamed with plastics software developer Moldflow, to showcase software that simplifies the simulation process and improves overall engineering efficiency.

Paul Van Huffel, Cascade Engineering senior engineer, presented the Moldflow Core Deflection Analysis tool and the impact of this technology to the International Moldflow Users Group in Tokyo, Japan on August 26-27, 2004.

Cascade Engineering has led a beta program to utilize a core deflection analysis system that helps link flow analysis with structural analysis, providing better imaging, clearer 3D trials and improved results with molding simulations.

“The Moldflow software takes the injection molding simulation process and blends the flow and structural analyses,” said Van Huffel. “This allows our engineering team to recognize potential problems before the production process begins - something we couldn’t do before - and gives us a powerful problem-solving tool to utilize when serving our customers. We can create solutions that not only meet their needs, but provide a better understanding of the results in a much shorter time-frame, dramatically improving our efficiency.”

The Company also said that the Moldflow Core Deflection Analysis plays a critical role with potential customers, allowing Cascade Engineering’s engineers to provide customer-centered innovations and solutions that analyze their needs and provide a greater level of accuracy and detail than ever before.

Cascade Engineering has targeted several key customers with this technology in a variety of industries, including automotive, industrial and waste solutions.
