Fiber Orientation in Plastic Part Designs – Autodesk Moldflow 2012

Want more information after viewing this video? Be sure to visit www.autodesk.com and www.SIMSquad.com. In order to reduce weight and improve fuel economy, automotive manufacturers are increasingly replacing metal parts with plastic parts that are reinforced with long glass fibers. The orientation of the glass fibers is critical to the overall performance, shape, and dimensions of the plastic parts. Thus, simulation is an invaluable tool in allowing designers to optimize their designs to maximize the benefits of using long glass fibers. Autodesk developed the industry’s first capability to predict the orientation of long fibers in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the US Department of Energy on the prestigious FreedomCAR program. Autodesk® Moldflow® 2012 software helps to more accurately predict the orientation of short and long glass fibers, which are critical to the overall performance, shape, strength, and weight of plastic parts. Accurate fiber orientations help improve the prediction of process-induced mechanical properties and subsequent shrinkage and warpage predictions. Perform amazing simulations with Autodesk® Moldflow® 2012 software.

What is a Moldflow

Moldflow simulation can predict all phases of the injection molding process, including flow, pack, and cooling. It can even predict the warped shape of the part based on all of those inputs from the process. Not only that, but other types of simulation can be done – thermoset, co-injection, injection-compression, gas assist, and two-shot.

Moldflow Adviser 2012 Demonstration

Demonstration of How to Analysis a Plastic Injection Molding Process in Autodesk Moldflow Adviser 2012

This example shows how Preactor 300 FCS is used in an injection moulding machine application where the changeover time is dependent on material colour, resin type and tool. The number of staff for changeover tasks is a constraint as well as tools. The application also uses transfer batching between moulding and packing operations. (Note: This demo was completed with a Preactor 10 configuration in Preactor 11.)
