Part Adviser MoldAdviser

Moldflow Plastics Advisers® - 9144 Plastic Filling Analysis

Identify View plots of pressure, flow-front temperature and polymer orientation and predict weld-line and air-trap locations areas of the part geometry that pose manufacturability and quality problems and obtain practical, design-specific advice on how to address these issues

Sink Mark Analysis

Predict sink mark locations and the associated depths to determine their severity

Cooling Quality Analysis

Identify and compensate for areas where heat is concentrated on the part to avoid longer cycle times and the formation of sink marks

Gate Location Analysis

Determine the best gate locations for a given part design and avoid undesirable gate locations

Molding Window Analysis

Determine optimum processing conditions and evaluate the sensitivity of the part design to the molding process Use the size of the molding window to compare material grades, evaluate gate locations and gain a measure of part design quality

Cost Adviser

Estimates product cost based on material, cycle time, post-molding operations, and overhead and automatically updates with any changes made to the model or processing conditions

Runner Balance Analysis

Automatically size runners to balance flow in multi-cavity and family mold layouts

Runner Adviser Analysis

Automatically determine the best sprue, runner and gate dimensions for single-cavity, multi-cavity and family molds
