Result Types
Results are available for filling, packing, cooling, and warpage analysis stages.
Filling Results
Option | Description |
---|---|
Temperature |
|
Flow Front Temperature | Review the temperature at the time of filling. |
Velocity |
|
Pressure | Review pressures inside the mold cavity produced during the
filling stage. |
Filling Time | Review the time it takes the material to reach different
areas within the part. The filling results can help you
determine the best way to fill the part and detect patterns that
indicate the potential for incomplete filling, unbalanced flow,
weld lines and air pockets. |
Air Traps |
|
Weld Lines | Locate regions during filling where two flow fronts meet.
Such regions may cause structural and cosmetic issues. |
Mold Temperature | Review temperature variances in the mold. |
Fiber Orientation Tensor | Review diagonal and cross products results for the tensors.
The result predicts the fiber orientation tensor for short fiber
reinforced polymers.
|
Packing Results
Option | Description |
---|---|
Temperature | Review temperatures during the packing phase. The temperature
will decrease due to the temperature loss across the mold
walls. |
Velocity | Examine velocity during the packing phase. Velocities will
decrease until the fluid stops flowing. |
Pressure | Consider pressures during the packing phase. These results
are useful to know points where the pressure is less than 0 to
detect areas prone to suffer a sink mark defect. |
Sink Marks | Detect surface depressions, usually in the thicker sections
of the model, caused by shrinkage during the packing
stage. |
Mold Temperature | Review temperature variances in the mold. |
Cooling Results
Option | Description |
---|---|
Temperature | Examine the temperature evolution once the mold is totally
filled. You can determine the final temperature at which to stop
the cooling phase. |
Mold Temperature | Review temperature variances in the mold. |
Warpage Results
Option | Description |
---|---|
Displacement | Detect folding, bending, twisting or bowing in the molded
part, which is usually due to non-uniform cooling. The
displacement contour displays how the part is warping so that
you can make the appropriate corrective measures to the cooling
rate, cooling channel design, or process data. |
