Why Use Moldflow?


Moldflow Filling Analysis

  • Optimize runner and gating systems
  • Determination of gate location(s)
  • Review and optimization of the fill pattern
  • Optimization and review of plastic temperatures through out the cycle
  • Review and optimization of injection pressures
  • Review and optimization of shear rates
  • Review and optimization of shear stress levels
  • Clamp tonnage and Machine Sizing
  • Volumetric shrinkage optimization
  • Prediction of areas prone to sink
  • Prediction of venting requirements
  • Air trap prediction and avoidance
  • Weld line prediction and optimization 

Moldflow Cooling Analysis

  • Locate hot spots in the mold
  • Calculate time to freeze
  • Review of cooling performance between core and cavity
  • Measure pressure drop in cooling system
  • Establish minimum flow rate requirements (i.e. GPM, etc.)
  • Cycle time optimization and review
  • Review and optimization of the cooling design

Moldflow Packing Analysis

  • Optimization of part shrinkage levels
  • Determination of pressure and time requirements for shrinkage control
  • Final determination of clamp requirements as influenced by the packing stage

Moldflow Warpage Analysis

  • Prediction of part post molded warpage
  • Determination of root cause(s) of the warpage
  • Optimization of part warpage
  • Prediction of part warpage due to differential cooling (when cooling analysis is also selected)
