CAE plays an increasingly important role in the areas of plastic product design,injection mold design,and process optimization.This paper presents an integrated VR-based CAE system for the whole injection molding process,which includes filling,packing,cooling,and shrinkage stages.The structure design,modularization,and object modeling is discussed in the system design.And the OpenGL is selected for developing a virtual environment and stereoscopic view.With the integration of VR,visualization,and numerical simulation technologies,the overall system is a new powerful tool to resemble the physical process cycle of injection molding.
