Press force:XY Plot result

    It is generated from an Injection-compression analysis.

    Using this result

    For the compression phase of injection-compression molding, the press force is calculated by multiplying the pressure by the projected area of the compression surfaces (excluding the feed system) on the parting plane, at specific time instants.

    If only press packing is applied, when the press force reaches the press force used, it will remain at that preset value (constant force).

    Note The number of time steps plotted on the XY graph is determined by the input specified for the Number of regular results in Filling phase and Number of regular results in Packing phase options.

    To specify the numbers of regular results to output, click (Home tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/4443-Results4443/4901-Injectio4901/4903-Press_fo4903/ac.menuaro.gif Molding Process Setup panel File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight_360/4443-Results4443/4901-Injectio4901/4903-Press_fo4903/ac.menuaro.gif Process Settings). If necessary click Next to access the Compression Settings page, click Advanced options, click Edit in the Solver parameters group, and select the Intermediate Output tab.

    Things to look for

    An example of the relationship between the Injection-compression results and how to interpret them is provided in the topic on Press displacement.
