Quickstart Pack analysis: Tutorial review

In this tutorial, you:

• Created a project
• Imported an existing study
• Duplicated the part
• Set the parting plane location
• Created the mold
• Created the runner system
• Set the analysis parameters and ran the analysis
• Reviewed results

Be Adventurous

The results are less than ideal. The sprue is controlling the cycle time and the volumetric shrinkage should have a lower variation.

Try to reduce the cooling time by reducing the sprue diameter.

• Save the study with a different name.

• Select the sprue.

• Right click and select Properties.

• Change the diameter and click OK.

• Run another analysis and compare results.

  The fill pressure is acceptable when under 100 MPa.

Try to reduce the variation in volumetric shrinkage.

• Save the study with a different name.

• Go to the Advanced tab of the Process settings wizard and make a change to the packing profile.

• Run another analysis and compare results.

  The variation in shrinkage across the nominal wall is preferably less than 2%.
