Molding Window Derivation-Color

    Table of contents
    1. 1. Green
    2. 2. Yellow
    3. 3. Red

    The Molding Window Analysis checks whether the five conditions are acceptable and these calculations are checked against their ranges of acceptability.

    MATHML ELEMENTS COMMENTED OUT. NEED TO REPLACE WITH IMAGE.

    Green

    An area of the Molding Window is green if all of these cases are true.

    The part is not a short shot.  
    The injection pressure required to fill the part is less than 80% of maximum machine injection pressure capacity.  
    Temperature at the flow front is less than 10°C above the injection (melt) temperature.

    where is the temperature of the melt

    Temperature at the flow front is greater than 10°C below the injection (melt) temperature.

    where is the temperature of the melt

    The shear stress is less than the maximum specified for the material in the material database.  
    The shear rate is less than the maximum specified for the material in the material database.  

    Yellow

    An area of the Molding Window is yellow if it does not satisfy all the conditions for being displayed as green, and all of these cases are true.

    The part is not a short shot.  
    The injection pressure required to fill the part is less than the maximum machine injection pressure capacity.  

    Red

    An area of the Molding Window is red if either of these cases is true.

    The part is a short shot.  
    The injection pressure required to fill the part is greater than the machine injection pressure specified.
