Start Simulating your designs In 3 Steps.
Step 1: Request a Consultation
Start with giving our engineers an idea of the scope of work you’re looking for. You’ll work directly with an engineer who can review any data or file sets prior to getting started. If we need an NDA to work together, we’ll iron those details out in the consultation.
Step 2: We Run Your Simulation
Our engineers have access to world-class software like SOLIDWORKS and SimuliaWorks which we’ll use to execute your simulation. We also use the cloud for computing, which means we’re able to deliver results to you in the fastest possible time.
Step 3: Receive and Review
Once you have your dataset returned, we’ll review our findings together and work through any concerns or questions about the results. We want you to be comfortable and confident with the data we return to you.

Do you need to protect against resonance? Maybe your model needs to be rated to withstand an accidental drop? Maintain a tolerance within a certain value?
Let the Simulation Services team at CADimensions help you gain a deeper understanding of your system and provide you with the answers you’re looking for.
- Make sure your model can withstand all the loading conditions it’s subjected to.
- Make sure your hardware won’t fail.
- See the greatest amount your product might move under load.
- Protect against resonance.
- Ensure you maintain a tolerance within a certain value.
- See if your product will withstand an accidental drop
Is my assembly going to overheat? Am I meeting a minimum flow rate requirement? What’s the pressure drop through my components?
Do these problems sound familiar? Let us help you determine all the answers to these pressing questions by leveraging years of industry experience and software know-how.
- Ensure your assembly won’t overheat.
- Meet minimum flow requirements.
- Optimize placement of cooling elements like fans and heat sinks.
- Make sure your model is producing correct velocities and pressure.
- See the pressure ratings through your system.
Is my part going to fill correctly? What’s the cycle time going to be? 1 gate or 2?
These critical questions are better answered sooner rather than later. The CADimensions Simulation Services team can help you answer all of these and more injection molding issues, like warpage and cooling line placement.
Doing all of this analysis before any molds are cut saves both time and money and reduced the overall time to market!

Frequently asked questions
What is the typical turn-around time?
Typically less than two weeks from the time the project has begun. Things that might impact this timeline could be project scope, or the size of the project itself. Your CADimensions engineering consultant will do their best to work with you on a timeline that meets your needs.
What file format do I need to provide?
What will it cost?
What types of simulation does CADimensions offer?
CADimensions offers three primary simulation services: Structural Simulation (FEA), Flow Simulation (CFD), and Plastics Simulation for injection molding analysis. Structural simulation covers statics, dynamics, drop testing, resonance, and tolerance analysis. Flow simulation covers thermal analysis, pressure ratings, flow rates, and cooling optimization. Plastics simulation covers fill analysis, cycle time, gate placement, warpage, and cooling line placement. Additional simulation types are available — contact the team to discuss your specific needs.
Do I need to sign an NDA before sharing my files?
CADimensions is happy to work under an NDA if required. NDA details are handled during the initial consultation before any files or data are shared.
What types of structural simulation can CADimensions run?
Structural simulation at CADimensions covers load-bearing analysis, failure point identification, deflection under load, resonance protection, tolerance analysis, and drop test simulation. If you have a specific structural question about your design, the team can advise on the right simulation approach during the consultation.
Can CADimensions help if my assembly is overheating?
Yes. Flow simulation is used to identify thermal issues including overheating assemblies. The team can evaluate heat dissipation, optimize cooling element placement such as fans and heat sinks, and verify that assemblies stay within acceptable temperature ranges under operating conditions.
What is injection molding simulation and why does it matter?
Injection molding simulation, also called plastics simulation, analyzes how a part will fill during the molding process before any tooling is cut. It identifies potential issues such as incomplete fills, excessive cycle times, poor gate placement, warpage, and cooling inefficiencies. Running this analysis early reduces the risk of costly mold modifications and shortens overall time to market.
Does CADimensions work with companies outside the Northeast?
Yes. Simulation services are delivered remotely. Engineers work directly with clients regardless of location, sharing files and results digitally and reviewing findings together via video call or your preferred communication method.
