Hi,
I am doing a mold flow analysis for a plastic component.Analysis is finished and i can see FILL TIME and FLOW PRESSURE AT END OF FILL and its easy to understand,
But i want to know whether the molded part is sound without any defects such as non uniform cooling rate,cold shut etc..How can i check these things?
Thanks,
Hello,
If you want to see the effect of differential cooling you will have to model the complete cooling circuit and then run COOL analysis (available in Plastics Premium only).
If by cold shut you mean jetting then before running your flow analysis go to Fill Settings/Advanced/Options and change the " Volume of fluid Algorithm" from Indirect to Direct.
Btw, how big is your part?
I understand it's a rough idea but I'm wondering what's the reason to put so many injection points...?
What's more some of them might be located in a difficult areas from the tooling point view.
Regards
