Review Warpage Results

In this task, you interpret warpage indicator results to determine the relative magnitude of warpage.

1. Click View > Visibility > Object Visibility.

2. Click off all objects except Cavities.

3. Click Home > Results > Results.

4. Rotate, the model so the rotation is approximately 180 45 90, and the view cube looks similar to the image.

   

6. Click Warpage indicator, all effects in the study tasks list.

7. Click Results > Results > Plot Properties

8. Click the Deflection tab, set the Scale factor to 5 and Click OK.

   This result shows the relative magnitude of the warpage (out of plane change in shape) for the parts. Green areas are less than 80% and red areas are at least 120% of the quoted Nominal max. deflection. The default value for Nominal maximum deflection is half the average wall thickness of the part. The deflection is exaggerated five times so it can be seen better.

   

9. Rotate Pan and zoom to inspect the warpage.

10. Display the other warpage indicators.

    Compare them to the all effects plot. The plot that looks most like the all effects plot has the greatest influence on the warpage. In this case, differential cooling is most like the all effects plot.
