Fill+Pack analysis

A Fill+Pack analysis predicts the polymer flow inside the mold during the filling and packing phases. This analysis sequence can be used to determine whether a cavity will be completely filled.

The sequence consists of a Fill analysis followed by a Pack analysis. The Pack analysis uses many results that are calculated in the filling phase to more accurately predict polymer behaviour in the packing phase.

Additional simulation features using the Fill+Pack analysis sequence

Besides analyzing the filling and packing phase of the injection molding process, Fill+Pack analyses also support the following simulation features:

Core shift prediction

If your part is produced with the aid of a core, and you have modeled the core, a Fill+Pack analysis can be used to predict the deflection of the core and the resultant changes in thickness and performance of the part.

2-Shot Sequential Overmolding

If your part is produced in a 2-shot Sequential Overmolding process, a Fill+Pack analysis can simulate the filling and packing of the overmolded component.
