“The pursuit of accuracy” A simulation story with Autodesk Moldflow.

What do you do when your Autodesk Moldflow results do not match reality? Learn how to troubleshoot correlation issues and fine tune simulation approaches to improve accuracy. Learn how important it can be to integrate the process into the part design. In this presentation we will present two case studies that highlight “the pursuit of accuracy” and representing the actual molding process. The first case study relates to a Polycarbonate application with a hot runner system that had a pressure correlation issue. We will explore the use of the D3 viscosity coefficient and hot runner modeling techniques. The second case study highlights how cooling with a two shot mold application can improve accuracy and be used for part design consideration (integrating the intended manufacturing process with the part design criteria). Both case studies will help provide insight into how to troubleshoot correlation issues and fine tune simulation approaches.
