Summary ANALYSIS AIMS To study the flow and predict the cycle time of theA1309-2part. ANALYSIS APPROACH The cavity and the cold runner sections are modeled. And a Fusion Cool + Flow + Warp analysis was conducted. The specified material is PP (grade is specified BP RPP 2009 GK BLK, which is not listed in the moldflow database, so we used Polypropylene PPC 5660 from TOTAL Petrochemicals) to running the analysis . This may effect the actual values obtained in the analysis (e.g. shrinkage values, pressure requirements), but it can still be used to observe the general trends in the results (e.g. filling pattern, warpage shape etc). CONCLUSION A pressure drop of 15MPa is expected across the system which indicating this material can easy to fill this part. The over all melt front temperature drop is C across the part, which is acceptable. The weld lines might be visible to eye due to zero degree of two melt. The part is expected to have warpage in X,Y,Z direction, the particular data of warpage please refer to page 20 to 23. The hot spots in the slider side due to the placement of the cooling channel, these area need to add cooling circuit or beryllium insert if we can (refer to page 19).

Pressure drop A pressure drop of 15MPa is expected across the system, this indicated that the material is easy to fill this part.
Temperature at flow front The plastics material enters the runners at 230 C. The overall temperature drop is about 1.2C, which is acceptable.
Weld Lines The weld lines (color curve) might be visible to eye, due to the zero degree of the two melts.
Air traps The air traps (pink mark ) location are as show.
Cooling Channels : Temperature Rise The coolant is specified as water at 25 C, and with turbulent flow in each channels (Reynold Number = 10,000). The outlet temperature of each channels is exceed0.66C, this indicate the cooling channels are efficient. Cavity Core cooling
Cooling Channels : Temperature Rise Slider cooling
