- Injection Location PropertyManager
Injection locations introduce polymer material at the specified melt temperature into the cavity.
- Injection Location Advisor PropertyManager
The Injection Location Advisor assesses a part's geometry to identify up to ten suitable injection locations by considering the specified material, process conditions, and mold opening direction.
- Control Valve PropertyManager
Valve gate systems, which are operated pneumatically or hydraulically, can be used with hot runners to open and close the gate, and control the filling and packing of the injection-molded part.
- Mold Wall Temperature PropertyManager
As an alternative to a full mold cooling analysis, the Mold Wall Temperature boundary condition allows you to define a temperature field that varies over the surface of the cavity.
- Clamp Force PropertyManager
You can use the Clamp Force PropertyManager to set up the clamp force direction. You can also exclude regions of a model from the calculation of clamp force.
- Symmetry PropertyManager
You can use the Symmetry boundary condition to create and analyze cavity and runner layouts that are symmetric about one or two planes of symmetry. While the simulation runs only for the symmetric portion of the layout, saving you time, SOLIDWORKS Plastics displays the results for the complete layout.
- Cyclic PropertyManager
You can use the Cyclic boundary condition to create and analyze cavity and runner layouts that exhibit cyclic symmetry. While the simulation runs only for the symmetric portion of the layout, SOLIDWORKS Plastics displays the results for the complete layout.
- Air Vents PropertyManager
Air vents allow air to escape from a cavity as the melted polymer fills the mold.
- Exclude from Warp PropertyManager
Warp analysis predicts the final shape and dimensions of a part, after an injection molding machine ejects it from the mold and it is fully cooled.
- Filled Hot Runner PropertyManager
The Filled Hot Runner boundary condition identifies heated components of a runner system. At the start of the Filling simulation, these sections of a runner are considered filled with hot polymer.
- Coolant Input PropertyManager
The Coolant Input boundary condition defines multiple inlets and outlets for complex cooling circuits.
- Local Gravity PropertyManager
The Local Gravity boundary condition specifies the orientation of the gravity vector during Warp analysis. This option is available with the multi material overmolding injection process.
