ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF INJECTION-MOLDED PARTS BASED ON A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATION SOFTWARE

摘要

The computer simulation of the injection molding process is an essential tool to fulfill requirements on technical parts with respect to part quality and efficiency. In addition to melt flow simulation, the calculation of internal properties like crystallization is essential for the prediction of final part properties. After providing the three-dimensional melt flow simulation the calculation of thermally induced crystallization based on a three-dimensional temperature calculation can now be carried out. First results show a good qualitative agreement with experimental studies.
