Rate Profile Settings

Volume control (Absolute control)/Base on machine max flow
rate |
You can control the variation of
Flow rate or Screw speed in terms of the
percentage of filled cavity volume or the screw position. By default
you can enter five data pairs. You can increase the number of data
pairs in Section number.
|
Flow rate (cc/sec) or (in3/sec)
|
Specifies the volumetric flow rate.
|
|
Flow rate (%)
|
Specifies the flow rate as a percentage
of the Reference flow
rate. For example, if the Reference flow rate
(cc/s) is 350, and you enter a flow rate
of 80%, then the actual flow rate is
280.
|
|
Screw speed
|
Used together with the Screw diameter to
calculate the flow rate (flow rate = Screw speed * Screw
section Area).
|
|
Screw position
|
Used together with the Initial screw position
to define the volume of material delivered to the
cavity.
|
|
Volume (%)
|
The percentage of the filled cavity
volume. Enter a value of 100% in the last table
entry.
|
- Specify an Initial screw position, if the
Flow Rate
depends on the screw position.
- Specify a Reference flow
rate
(cc/s), if you define
the flow rate as a percentage of the reference flow
rate.
- Specify a Screw diameter, if the flow rate
depends on the screw speed.
|
| |
Time
control (Relative control)/Base on filling
time |
Specifies the profile of a
relative flow rate versus the filling time or a percentage of the
total filling time.
|
Filling Time (sec)
|
Displays the filling time from the
Fill
Settings PropertyManager. You can enter
the filling time profile data in absolute (Time sec) or relative
(Time %)
values.
|
|
Flow rate (%)
|
The Flow
Rate (%) values you enter in the table
are interpreted relative to each other. For example, if
two data points are defined with Flow Rate values of 10%
and 30%, the flow rate for the second data point is
three times larger than the first flow rate value.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics calculates the actual volumetric
flow rates for each data point to satisfy the given
relative profile and the filling time for the
cavity.
