181_Crossing the Line- Injection Mold & FEA Simulation of Weld Line Integrity

Powerful simulation products are available to 3DEXPERIENCE users through the SIMPOE and ABAQUS solvers. With them, designers accurately represent fill and pack times, or predict structural failures. But no design goal is a monolith.

 

Follow us through the design of a plastic fluid connector. Plastic Injection Engineer role predicts weld lines and fiber orientation dependent on gate location, material, and other process conditions. But will those weld lines cause critical failures when pressurized? With the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform we’ll perform sequential coupled Injection Molding to Structural analysis in Structural Mechanics Engineer—taking fiber orientation, temperature, and residual stresses as initial conditions before applying the fluid connector’s design loads.

 

Attend this session to learn how to take a plastic part from manufacturing cycle to life cycle, and see how to Build it Better with 3DEXPERIENCE cross-product integration!
