Filling CAE (Moldflow)
Advanced simulation using CAE software to verify the injection feasibility of complex parts, optimizing the design to avoid structural defects.
The challenge
The main challenge was to determine the optimal injection strategy for a technical part, ensuring that no knit lines or sink marks appeared. Furthermore, it was critical to ensure that the part did not suffer deformations during the injection process, requiring an exhaustive analysis of material behavior.
The solution
Multiple filling simulations were performed using Moldflow software to verify material flow. After analyzing the results of the initial iterations, modifications to the original part design were proposed and executed, achieving a perfect balance between geometry and material gate points.
Results
- Total elimination of knit lines and visible sink marks on the final part.
- Guaranteed dimensional stability without post-injection deformations.
- Optimization of the part design validated through technical simulation before mold manufacturing.
