INSIGHT ADVANCED FLOW+COOL+WARP

Course Description

What You Will Learn?

Students learn about the more complex analysis types available in Autodesk Moldflow Insight that were not covered in the Autodesk Moldflow Insight Fundamentals course. Additionally, Students will learn how to analyze how injection molded parts are cooled and how cooling, filling and packing influence the part’s warpage. You will also learn how to optimize the injection mold’s cooling system, and how to reduce warpage.

Learning Details

Cooling Analysis Strategies:

Learn when and how to use the automatic and specified cooing analysis options

Cooling Optimization:

Solve a mold cooling problem by modifying an existing cooling system with your design modifications

Warpage Overview:

An overview of the causes of warpage and shrinkage models used in simulation

Design Influences on Warpage:

Discusses the contributions to warpage with respect to part design, mold design, processing conditions, and materials

Warpage Analysis Process:

Discusses the procedure for running a warpage analysis and how it is related to cooling, filling, and packing

Determine the Magnitude of Warpage:

Discusses the procedure for determining how much the part will warp.  It discusses the differences between midplane, Dual Domain and 3D meshes

Determine the Cause of Warpage:

Discusses how to determine if the major cause of warpage is differential cooling, differential shrinkage, orientation effects, or corner effects and how the procedure is dependent on mesh type

Reducing warpage:

Discusses the diagnostic results that can help you understand the causes of warpage and the procedure used to solve warpage problems
