Flow results

This help topic specifies the results generated for analyses that include Fill, Fill+Pack, or Standalone Pack analysis sequences.

These results are generated for material with or without fiber or filler content.

Text based results

The following table lists the text results that are created for each these analyses.

Graphical results

The following table lists the graphical results that are created and indicates whether each result is supported by the following analysis technologies:
  • Midplane
  • Dual Domain
  • 3D

For more information about a result, including how to interpret the display, click on the result name.

Note: Overmolding results are available only if you are using an overmolding process. Thermoplastics overmolding analyses produce two sets of Fill analysis results, one for the first component and another for the overmolded component.
