Check how cavities are filled

Launch a Fill analysis to see how the runner system you created in the previous task fills the mold.

1. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup > Analysis Wizard).

   The Analysis Wizard dialog appears.

2. Select the Fill checkbox in the Sequence tab.
   Note: Clear any other selected analysis to make sure only the Fill analysis will be performed.
3. Click Analyze.

   The analysis begins. When the analysis is complete a dialog appears.

4. Click OK.
5. Click Fill time from the results section of the Study Tasks pane.

   The result plot shows the position of the flow front at regular intervals as the cavity fills.

Note that one of the cavities is filled before the other, whereas they should both be filled at the same time. This is the result of unbalanced flow.

To improve the filling of the cavities, learn how to balance the runner system in the Runner balancing (tutorial) tutorial.
