A Warp analysis is used to diagnose the cause of warping and recommend a solution, such as gate location changes, design parameter changes, or reduction of wall thickness variations.
Warp analysis is supported for Midplane,Dual Domain and 3D analysis technologies.
Warpage is affected greatly by fiber orientation. Warpage in an injection molded part is caused by variations in shrinkage that occur:
Any attempt to predict the likelihood and amount of warpage for a particular component must first account for these shrinkage variations.
The material that is used influences the warpage of the part. Sometimes you must choose a material with low, uniform shrinkage to achieve dimensional accuracy. These materials are usually more expensive, but you may be able to use a cheaper material and save costs by observing shrinkage and warpage design principles.
There are different warp analysis types that can be selected.
There are several factors that could cause a part to distort.
Warpage is a very common problem in parts that have corners.
The two main ways of influencing differential cooling are to change the cooling channel layout, or use mold inserts.
There are several ways to alter differential shrinkage.
There are several ways to alter orientation effects.
