The book provides a current, platform-independent introduction to injection molding simulation, which plays a very important role in the design of tools and molded parts, as well as in process development and optimization. The content is presented and conveyed within an engineering framework, largely avoiding complicated mathematical derivations.

The necessary context of injection molding simulation is also illuminated, making it possible to create a suitable simulation model, understand the model-specific limitations, and interpret the results. Additionally, guidance is provided for interpreting results to better assess them quantitatively.

The book is designed as a textbook, making it suitable as supplementary reading in relevant modules. The content is largely independent of any specific software, and introductory exercise examples for Autodesk Moldflow Insight and Moldex3D are included as step-by-step guides.
