Importing Injection Molding Data from SolidWorks Plastics

In this example, you import from SolidWorks Plastics the residual stresses and temperatures generated after the packing phase in a Simulation nonlinear study. You calculate the final stresses and displacements of a plastic cup after it cools down to room temperature.

To open the model, go to:

install_dir\samples\whatsnew\plastics\cup.sldprt.

Review the Ready Study features:
  • Imported in-mold stresses
  • Material definition stored in the Custom Materials folder
  • Mesh properties
  1. Importing Injection Molding Data
    You create a nonlinear study and import the in-mold residual stresses and temperatures at the end of the packing phase from SolidWorks Plastics.
  2. Meshing and Running the study
    You mesh the part and run the nonlinear study.
  3. Viewing Results after Cooling
    After the analysis completes, you can plot the final residual stresses and displacements of the part after it is completely cooled.
