Frozen pressure result

The Frozen pressure result shows the maximum pressure reached inside the mold from the time an element freezes until the time the result was written.

This result is generated from a Pack analysis using Midplane or Dual Domain analysis technology, and Overmolding analysis.

Note: Elements that have not frozen at the end of the simulation contain no data.

Using this result

The Frozen pressure result should show zero pressure at and after the time to reach ejection temperature, in all elements. Differences in pressure at the time to reach ejection temperature indicate stresses in the part.

Things to look for

• Pressure should be zero at the extremities of each flow path at the end of filling.
• Pressure variation will produce shrinkage variation and lead to high stresses and/or distortion in the part.
