Microcellular molding analysis log

The Analysis Log is a text report that lists the inputs that you used for the analysis, including solver parameters, material data, process settings and model details, followed by the analysis progress tables.

There is a separate section for the injection phase, and for the curing phase of the analysis. It is generated by the Microcellular Fill+Pack analysis.

Note: The Microcellular molding analysis is not supported for 3D analysis technology.

Using the analysis log

The Analysis Log for a Microcellular Fill+Pack analysis can be used to determine whether the part filled completely during injection before the curing phase began.

Look at the analysis progress table for the injection phase and check whether 100% of the cavity volume filled. If this did not occur, then you may see a solver message warning that a short shot has occured due to insufficient injection pressure.

Things to look for

• If a short shot occurs, try changing the following process settings (in the order presented) and re-run the analysis:
  • Melt and mold temperatures.
  • Fill time.
  • Pressure.

Note: Changes such as those above, can only be made using a licensed Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser or Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight product.
