Define the injection location. To remove the current location, select the coordinate and click Delete. Please send any technical comments or questions to our webmaster. Materials have different shrink rates so they melt and cool differently. Also remember that putting large radii on all corners may help plastic flow, but also can cause other issues, such as sink, because the large radii created a thick section. Different Design Roles and Workflows In SolidWorks , you can now customize the interface for three specific areas of design: First, I had a little difficulty importing, converting, and using some parts from SolidWorks , although this problem seemed to resolve itself for some reason.

In the Materials tab figure 3select a material that is closest to the desired material. A couple of additional notes are that some of the tabs require the previous information to already be defined.

Under the Analyze tab figure 5select Run to start the analysis. The assumption would be that we should choose either the first or second location for the gate. The three locations were run and the location shown in figure 3 filled most quickly.

SolidWorks has a new Curvature Continuous Loft start and end condition that provides C2 continuity between loft geometry and adjacent model faces.

Using this tool, you can discover these items up front and address issues, if any, before involving the tool designer. Molfdlowxpress in whole or in part is prohibited. As clean and stable as this version of SolidWorks is, I did encounter a couple of glitches.

In the Conditions tab figure 4you'll typically use the default conditions. Select Next to continue. You can analyze only one part and injection location at a time. Analyze tab dialog box. Again, keep in mind that this tool is a simple one intended for limited use by the designer. On the surface, this may seem like a good thing as customers "get their money's worth.

This eDrawing can be a good basis for the conversations with the tool designer. The next step may be to send the results to the toolmaker.

SolidWorks as a company, however, seems to be addressing these growing customer concerns, so we'll keep a close eye on the stability issue in this and subsequent releases. We'll talk more about workflows a little later. While a mechanical designer is not a mold or tool designer, the simple analysis you can perform using SolidWorks MoldflowXpress can provide valuable information you can use as a basis for discussion with your toolmaker.

A simple wizard walks through the steps. This could be due to different wall sizes, lack of radii on corners and so forth.

Materials have different shrink rates so they melt and cool differently. The Move Face feature lets you translate, offset, and move faces directly on a solid or surface model.

It stacks up well against most, but not all, previous releases in terms of new design functionality. Like some of its competitors, SolidWorks continues its foray into the industrial design market where complex curves are critically important.

The other solidworka is that once defined, the information about the analysis will be saved within the SolidWorks document so the analysis can be rerun without adding all the information again.

As with COSMOSXpress, the intent of MoldflowXpress is to provide the design engineer with a tool that can be used to verify design attributes -- in this case, wall size, fillets, and so forth -- and to be sure material selection does not cause any unforeseen potential issues.

The third location would have been my initial best guess for a gate location, but it turned out the part did not fill well using this location. SolidWorks, the fundamental modeling product. This feature also lets you draft the core for extraction.
