Constant profiles

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Constant profiles specify operating parameters, such as pressure or flow rate, which have a constant value through a step.

    Profiling operating parameters can give greater control over the final product. Factors such as warpage can be reduced by profiling the packing pressure over time. Profiles within the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow product are used to simulate these adjustments.

    Constant profiles can have a stepped value incorporated. Profiles are defined in the Process Setting Wizard (Home tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/4168-Process_4168/4174-Profiles4174/4179-Constant4179/ac.menuaro.gif Molding Process Setup panel File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/4168-Process_4168/4174-Profiles4174/4179-Constant4179/ac.menuaro.gif Process Settings) by a table outlining how the parameter is to change through the cycle. If a Packing pressure vs time profile is specified with the values in the following table, a profile that looks like the following diagram will result.

    Time Packing pressure
    0 150
    5 150
    5 125
    10 125
    10 100

    In this example, the time value is duplicated to achieve the vertical step, and the packing pressure value is duplicated to achieve the horizontal step.

    NoteA profile can have both constant and linear sections.
