SimLab Molding Interface - Supported Features

Supported Analysis Types

Following molding analysis types supported in SimLab:

  1. Filling
  2. Filling + Cooling
  3. Filling + Cooling + Warpage
  4. Cooling
  5. Cooling + Warpage
  6. Filling + Packing

  7. Filling + Packing + Cooling

Fiber orientation analysis is supported and can be optionally turned on.

Filling includes:

  • Initial velocity driven filling

  • Final pressure driven filling
  • There is a velocity/pressure (VP) switch over in between and it can be controlled by many options.

Packing includes both packing and holding phases.
