How to make a simulation with a bananagate

Kim Bruun Feb 23, 2015 3:54 AM

Hallo

i'm new here

I have a problem with a simulation... i will like to simulate a banan gate being pull out of it's tool.

I have simulation with my SolidWorks.

I made the sprue, runner and banana, then i made a simpel model af the tool/cast, it plastic injection.

Then i eject the sprue, runner and banana, i will like to know witch forces there have to be applyed for the sprue, runne and banana to come out of the tool. the arrow indicante the ejecter.

Thx

where are you stuck?

this will likely be a very challenging analysis, there are a lot of locations of contact that need to be considered

  It fail, when i apply to big a force, but that is because the part is moving into outer space ... i'm trying another approach.. i will keep in touch

how did you do the study?

What are the boundry conditionals ?

When fail?

  I made a contact set with no penetration on all faces... and the part is very small 50 mm i height from top to bottom, and mostly 3mm in diameter

    did you fix the mold?
    
    what is your expectation when it pops out of the mold? the software will not really be able to handle that as it would be a rigid body motion.
