    Are Mold Flow's offerings the best bang for the buck in working with
    SolidWorks to give mold fill, gate and runner analysis issues clear
    results for improving the molded part and molding cycle times?

    I just haven't used these tools before except for Mold Flow Express.

    I compared the fill of a well known part in Express vs the full Mold
    Flow and found that though the cavity fill was nearly the same and
    proportional (% times to fill to certain points), the limited options
    inside of Express gave fill times that were twice what the actual full
    version of Mold Flow gave.

    I don't have any experience with any other similar applications.
