In this tutorial, you simulate the filling phase in a part. The feed system is not included. The filling phase is the most important phase of the injection molding cycle. If there are problems with the filling of a part, the part quality is not optimal

In this tutorial, you set up and run a Filling + Packing analysis on a 4-cavity tool on the computer mouse cover. You evaluate the fill balance between the parts, the pressure to fill the tool, the shrinkage on the part, and the cooling time. This tutori

In this tutorial, you set up and run a boundary element method (BEM) cooling analysis on a 4-cavity tool on the computer mouse cover. The BEM cooling analysis calculates a steady state, or average temperatures over the entire mold cycle. At a minimum, al

In this tutorial, you set up and run a finite element method (FEM) cooling analysis on a 4-cavity tool on the computer mouse cover. The FEM cooling analysis calculates both steady state and transient mold temperatures. Steady state is an average mold tem

In this tutorial, you set up and run a a warpage analysis on a 4-cavity tool on the computer mouse cover. You are provided with the study. The analysis sequence includes; cooling, filling, and packing. You set up and run the entire sequence. This tutoria
