Molding Loads- Boundary Conditions

Introduction

  • All external faces should have a boundary condition defined on them.

  • There should be no duplicate boundary condition
  • All boundary data is in SI units. Mainly the temperature is in Kelvin
  • If mold or insert is modeled, a contact condition should be defined between the polymer and the mold/insert.

  • Mold, mold insert, and part insert are meshed with connected mesh. There are no boundary conditions between them.

  • It is best to define the vent. If no vent is defined, auto venting will be used. Even if a single vent is defined, auto venting will be disabled.
