Filling Results

These are the result types that are available for filling, packing, cooling, and warpage analyses.

Filling Results

Option Description
Temperature Review the temperature evolution of the fluid entering into the mold cavity. Check paticular regions for excessive heating or cooling, and determine the appropriate fill speed for uniform temperature distribution.
Flow Front Temperature Review the temperature at the time of filling.
Velocity Examine the velocity vectors evolution during the filling of the mold. Click the Show and Options buttons to change to velocity contour fill animation.
Pressure Review pressures obtained during filling inside the mold cavity.
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. You can also detect filling patterns that can indicate the potential for incomplete filling, unbalanced flow, weld lines and air pockets.
Air Traps Locate air trapped in the mold during filling and consider venting options.
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.
