Gas-assisted Fill+Pack analysis results

    This help topic specifies the results for a Gas-assisted Fill+Pack analysis on a thermoplastic material.

    Text based results

    The following table lists the text results generated for a Gas-assisted Fill+Pack analysis.

    Graphical results

    The following table lists the graphical results generated for a Gas-assisted Fill+Pack analysis, and indicates that the result is supported for the following analysis technologies:

    • Midplane
    • 3D
    NoteThese results are specific to gas-assist only. The full list of fill and pack results are also generated.

    Topics in this section

    • %Volume of gas:XY Plot result

      The %Volume of gas:XY Plot result shows the volume percentage of gas in the cavity during the filling and packing phases of the analysis, displayed on an XY plot of percentage volume versus process time.

    • Gas core result

      The Gas core result shows the gas-polymer boundary throughout the part at the end of filling (fill analysis) or packing (filling + packing analysis).

    • Gas time result

      The Gas time result shows the position of the gas flow front at regular intervals over the gas injection phase as the cavity is filling with polymer.

    • Polymer skin fraction result

      The Polymer skin fraction shows the thickness fraction of the polymer skin over the duration of the analysis.

    • Polymer skin fraction at end of process result

      The Polymer skin fraction at end of process result shows the thickness fraction of the polymer skin at the end of the cycle.

    • Polymer skin, half gap thickness (bottom) result

      The Polymer skin, half gap thickness (bottom) result provides you with a measure of the polymer skin thickness on the bottom side of the elements.

    • Polymer skin, half gap thickness (top) result

      The Polymer skin, half gap thickness (top) result provides you with a measure of the polymer skin thickness on the top side of the elements.

    • Thickness of polymer at end of process result

      The Thickness of polymer at end of process result shows the thickness of the polymer at the end of the cycle.

    • Total design weight:XY Plot result

      The Total design weight:XY Plot result shows the weight of polymer used to create the part, displayed on an XY plot of weight versus process time.
