Simulation types
|
Fill Analysis
Fill Analysis: Evaluates how the molten plastic fills the mold cavity, identifying potential issues like premature solidification that can affect the quality of the molded part
|
Short Shot Detection
Short Shot Detection: Identifies areas in the mold that may not fill completely before the plastic solidifies, leading to incomplete parts
|
Injection Location Positioning
Injection Location Positioning: Determines the optimal positions for injection points to ensure uniform flow and quality of the final part
|
|
Analyzing Sink Marks
Analyzing Sink Marks: Predicts areas on the part that might have sink marks due to uneven cooling or material shrinkage, affecting surface quality
|
Air Traps Detection
Air Traps Detection: Identifies areas where air might be trapped within the mold cavity during injection, causing defects in the final product
|
Gate Blush Reduction
Gate Blush Reduction: Aims to reduce or eliminate gate blush, a surface defect caused by rapid shear rates at the gate, through simulation and optimization
|
|
Packing Analysis
Packing Analysis: Simulates the packing phase, where additional material is injected to compensate for shrinkage, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity
|
Weld Line Detection
Weld Line Detection: Predicts the formation of weld lines, which are weak points in the molded part where two flow fronts meet
|
Warpage Predictions
Warpage Predictions: Estimates the deformation of the part as it cools and solidifies, helping to modify mold design and processing parameters to minimize warpage
|
|
Shrinkage Predictions
Shrinkage Predictions: Predicts how much the material will shrink after cooling, crucial for achieving dimensional accuracy
