The software can perform stress analysis, heat transfer analysis, structural relaxation analysis, and viscoelastic analysis of molds and glass during the pressing process at high temperatures.
In particular, it can be used as a guideline for process optimization because it can output virtual temperatures that serve as an indicator of changes in the glass state during the cooling process. As a result, the intuition and experience of skilled workers and the behavior of samples in the mold, which until now have been a black box, can be quantified, contributing to improved quality and productivity through the accumulation of know-how.

By performing a simulation before mold design, it is possible to predict correction points such as molds, molding conditions, and preforms. As a result, the number of mold modifications and prototypes can be reduced, contributing to shorter development times and lower costs.

It measures and acquires the physical property values of samples used in simulations, contributing to more accurate simulations. Creep, friction coefficient, and structural relaxation parameters, which are essential for simulation, will be performed at RIKEN. General-purpose measurements are performed at industrial technology centers and public testing laboratories.
