This topic lists the results generated for a Molding Window analysis on a thermoplastic material.
The following table lists the graphical results that are created by a Molding Window analysis and indicates whether each result is supported for the following analysis technologies:
For more information about a result, including how to interpret the display, click the result name.
The Molding window analysis log is a text report that lists the input you used for the Molding Window analysis, followed by the process settings calculated by the Molding Window analysis.
The Molding Window result shows the optimum mold and melt temperatures and the injection time required to produce an acceptable part for a specific material within the constraints of the mold design.
The Cooling time, maximum result shows how the maximum cooling time varies with variations in the mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time.
The Pressure drop, maximum (molding window) result shows how the injection pressure varies with variations in the mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time.
The Quality result provides an indication of how the overall quality of your part will vary as the input variables mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time vary.
The Shear rate, maximum result shows how the shear rate varies with variations in the mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time.
The Shear stress, maximum result shows how the shear stress varies with variations in the mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time.
The Temperature at flow front, minimum result shows how the flow front temperature varies with variations in the mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time.
