The Moldex3D Solid Utility menu consists of buttons that provide shortcuts to different functions. The layout of the buttons mimic the process flow required to set up a model for Moldex3D Solid.
The main Utility menu is shown below, along with descriptions of function.
| 
 | Surfaces | |
| Cleanup | Shortcut to the Edge Edit panel. This shortcut provides quick access to the Edge Edit, Defeature, and Point Edit panels for geometry cleanup operations. | |
| Midsurface | Shortcut to the Midsurface panel, which provides tools to extract a midsurface from selected surfaces. | |
| Lines | ||
| Create | Shortcut to the Lines panel, which is used to create lines. | |
| Edit | Shortcut to the Line Edit panel, which is used to edit lines. | |
| Extract Axis | Opens the Extract Axis dialog, which extracts the axis of the given solid. See Extract Axis for more details. | |
| Generate Mesh | ||
| Coolant Channel Line | Opens the panel to generate 1D beam mesh for the coolant channel. | |
| Surface Mesh | Opens the size and bias subpanel of the Automesh panel, which is used to create tria3 elements on surfaces. | |
| Layered Tet Mesh | Opens a submenu of macros for generating a layered CFD solid mesh. See Layered Tet Mesh Submenu. | |
| Solid Meshing Wizard | Opens the Solid Meshing Wizard, which facilitates meshing the solids either with solidmap, tetmesh or CFD mesh. | |
| Runner Meshing Wizard | Opens the Runner Meshing Wizard, which contains a dialogs that help create a high quality solid mesh for the runner system consisting of prism and tetrahedral elements. See Runner Meshing Wizard. | |
