Co-Injection Analysis

Co-Injection offers modeling solutions to estimate shrinkage and warpage during the interaction between skin and core materials. It helps detect potential defective locations with high temperatures and stress. You also gain insight into critical characteristics of the process, including material interface and distribution.

  • Evaluates the flow front pattern to help in part design and gate placement
  • Predicts the penetration of the core material and skin breakthrough point
  • Determines the best injection pressure and clamping force for proper molding machine selection
  • Optimizes the switch point from skin injection to core injection
  • Provides skin thickness distribution for advanced structural analyses
  • Detects potential defective locations with high temperature and stress
  • Estimates shrinkage and warpage concerning the interaction between skin and core materials for spec requirement

Gas-Assisted Injection Molding Analysis

Gas-Assisted Injection Molding (GAIM) visualizes 3D flow behaviors when gas is injected into the cavity through the melt entrance or specific gas entrances. This software product predicts fingering effects and other gas injection molding issues to help you investigate the real production process and increase manufacturability.

It also simulates the gas-assisted injection molding process when gas is injected into the polymer melt through a runner or other designed gas channels. The gas cores out a network of hollow channels throughout the mold cavity and drives the polymer melt to complete the filling process.

In addition, GAIM visualizes 3D gas penetration behaviors inside the cavity. This lets you evaluate the amounts of polymer injected into the cavity and optimize the size and placement of gas channels.

  • Lowers filling and packing pressure and clamping tonnage
  • Prevents sink marks and warpage
  • Reduces residual stress
  • Saves significant weight
  • Shortens cooling time
