Course Title: Mold Filling Analysis

6 Professional Development Hours/0.6 CEUs

Course Description: The Mold Filling Analysis course breaks down the mold filling analysis process and how it's use of the computer to simulate the physics of the injection molding process. Also reviewed is the geometry of the part, the filling of the mold, the cooling analysis, and finishes; with a review of several mold filling software tools. Within this course, are many case studies with valuable examples of the use of mold filling analysis.

Overall Course Objectives:

Learn about the concepts of mold filling analysis.
Understand the factors of flow rates and part geometries.
Differentiate between the types of mold filling analysis "packages".

Course Content:

Lesson 1 - Introduction, Geometry of the Part, Filling of the Mold

Objectives:

Describe the simplest version of mold filling analysis.

Detect the information that is found from analyzing geometry of the part.

Explain how filling simulations aid in the design of the part or the mold.

Lesson 2 - Cooling Analysis, Advanced Discussion

Objectives:

Distinguish what information is gained from the cooling analysis, and recognize the
problems of uneven cooling.

Identify the two methods of meshing used in mold filling analysis.

Understand the complexity of the mold filling analysis when additional filler materials are
added to the plastic material.

Lesson 3 - Mold Filling Software

Objectives:

List the major mold filling analysis packages that are available.

Identify the tools that have become available for the more geometrically complex part.

Recognize the need for advanced mold simulation software.
