VISI is a unique solution for the moulding industry combining the ability to design the component, analyse the geometry, make part or mould changes (without the need to constantly switch between CAD and analysis system) and analyse the effect on the mould before production. A new moulding assistant menu provides tools to validate the mould design through preliminary flow analyses. Analyse Runners automatically analyses 3D mould plates and generates a mesh on the runner diameters; Draw Coolant Path automatically analyses 3D mould plates and defines the path where the coolant flows. This allows the user to run multiple comparative analyses in order to evaluate how changes in the feeding or cooling system can affect the cycle and the final part quality.

VISI16 also sees the introduction of a new meshing algorithm with automatic thickness calculations and the ability to define different meshing parameters for different geometry areas. For example, fine meshing parameters for critical areas and more coarse parameters for larger details (mould plates).
