Sheffield, UK, 3rd February 2026 – Quebec-based Maya HTT are an industry-leading software developer and engineering solutions provider focused on CAE, CAD, CAM and PLM. Maya HTT started developing thermal analysis solutions for the space industry in 1982, and in 1996 became a VAR of NX products. Maya HTT is now a Siemens Platinum partner.
Polygonica is a component software library for working with polygon meshes that helps companies in a range of industrial markets solve complex 2D and 3D geometrical problems.
SimForm Mold Cooling provides advanced thermal simulation for designers and engineers focused on creating parts to be manufactured using injection molding. SimForm is designed to shift left the simulation part of the workflow, greatly reducing the overall time to design a reliably manufacturable part and the associated mold.
To do this SimForm provides:
- A ‘no-install’ browser-based solution offered on a pay-for-usage basis
- An easy to learn graphical user interface, focused specifically on iterating mold cooling analysis and channel placement
- Super-fast simulation times using scalable cloud-based GPU resources
SimForm takes away the guesswork from the design process. Experienced mold designers no longer need to rely on the advanced design technique known as ‘kentucky windage’ to overcompensate the cavity for shrinkage: accurate simulation results can be delivered in fifteen minutes, with no requirement for a local workstation, and you only pay for the jobs you need.
Designers can also optimize their designs using SimForm’s generative design capabilities. The channel design workflow automatically recommends channel locations and allows you to easily create virtual prototypes of cooling layouts, directly creating drill channels in the recommended zones and adding baffle features in hard to reach locations. The cooling simulation can be run from a basic mold block, without the need to import a complete mold design.
After iterating designs in SimForm to create optimal cooling the resulting geometry and layout recommendations can be imported directly into your CAD system to support the detailed design process.
Chris Blake, Director of New Product Development at Maya HTT commented "Simform is revolutionising the injection molding industry by allowing part designers, tooling engineers and mold makers to make informed decisions based on powerful yet easy-to-use simulation technology employed earlier in the design process.“
“As software developers, the use of best-in-class software components allowed us to leverage Maya HTT’s decades of experience in thermal simulation to bring a new, designer-focused product to market in a fraction of the normal time.”
Dr Fenqiang Lin, Managing Director of MachineWorks, stated “We are very honoured to work with CAE industry specialists such as Maya HTT. In these days of vibe-coding and ‘ship now, fix later’, it’s great to see how quickly Maya have brought to market a robust simulation platform using mature, well-tested and proven middleware, opening up their extensive domain knowledge to a new user base in a new and innovative form.”
