Using simulation to predict molding issues
CAE simulation predicting how molten plastic flows, cools, and solidifies. Software: Moldflow (Autodesk), Moldex3D.
| Type | Predicts |
|---|---|
| Fill Analysis | Flow front, weld lines, air traps |
| Pack/Hold | Sink marks, shrinkage |
| Cool Analysis | Cooling time, temp distribution |
| Warp Analysis | Part deformation after ejection |
