The Press speed:XY Plot result shows the speed that the press moved at over the duration of the analysis, displayed on an XY plot of speed versus process time.
It is generated from an Injection-compression molding analysis.
Using this result
In Injection-compression molding, the compression phase consists of two segments:
- Press compression under speed control
- During this segment, the press follows the input specified for Press compression speed at incremental distances.
- Press compression under force control
- During this segment, the press speed that is required to maintain the constant press force is calculated.
Note: The number of time steps plotted on the XY graph is determined by the input specified for the Number of regular results in Filling phase and Number of regular results in Packing phase options.
Things to look for
An example of the relationship between the Injection-compression results and how to interpret them is provided in the topic on Press displacement.
