A number of new analyses and features have been added to the compression molding (3D) and injection-compression molding (3D) processes.
Thermoplastic materials
- · Cool analyses
- both Cool (BEM) and Cool (FEM) analysis sequences
- · Compression overmolding
- supported for 3D mesh types, where the compression step is supported only on the first shot.
- · Injection-compression overmolding
- supported for 3D mesh types, where the injection-compression step is supported only on the first shot.
Thermoset materials
- · Cool analyses
- only for the Cool (FEM) analysis sequence.
- · Core shift analysis
- Previously, this analysis sequence was only available for thermoplastics injection-compression and compression molding processes.
- · Venting analysis
- This analysis sequence is not available for thermoplastics injection-compression and compression molding processes.
- · Wire sweep analysis
- for compression molding (3D) processes only.
