Molding Analysis
Your designers gain valuable analytical data about predicted polymer performance.
This knowledge enables your designers to avoid costly redesigns and part failures.
Mold-filling analysis predicts polymer flow in the injection mold. This information allows your designers to:
- Determine optimum wall thickness, gate size, and locations
- Achieve uniform filling
- Determine injection pressure and melt temperatures
- Predict weld line and potential air entrapment locations

When areas of the part are over- or under-packed, an unbalanced situation results. This can lead to differential shrinkage and warpage.
Packing analysis gives your designers the information they need to minimize the effects by modifying part design, gate location, or molding conditions.

Warpage analysis predicts where warpage problems could occur. Your engineers can then modify the design to minimize warpage.

Mold cooling analysis gives your designers an evaluation of cooling circuit efficiency. Before the mold is constructed, your designers can optimize cooling circuit designs to:
- Provide uniform part cooling
- Minimize cycle times
- Eliminate part warpage
