Running a Warp analysis

Run a Warp analysis to examine the model for warpage and shrinkage. A Warp analysis determines whether a part molded with a thermoplastic material will warp and if so, can isolate the cause of warpage.

To run a warp analysis, you must include a Fill+Pack analysis.

  1. Open a model.
  2. Click Analysis Sequence (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Wizard).
  3. In the Sequence tab, select the Warp check box and then click Next.
  4. If necessary, edit the Material properties and then click Next.
  5. If necessary, edit the Process Settings properties and then click Next.
  6. If necessary, edit the Packing Profile.
  7. Click Finish to close and save the analysis entries, or Analyze to launch the analysis.
    Note: Alternatively, click Start Analysis!, Analysis toolbarStart Analysis! from the Study Tasks pane, or Start Analysis (Home tab > Analysis panel > Start Analysis).

Once the analysis has finished, the Summary pane appears.

Note: Click (Home tab > Analysis panel > Job Manager > Abort Job) to abort the analysis.
