SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard Simulation Training
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard Simulation training course teaches users how to simulate early stages of the injection moulding process to improve performance.
Course Overview
For plastic part designers, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard simulates the early stages of the injection moulding process to allow prediction of manufacturing problems early on and in turn reduce part defects and production lead times. Commonly Plastics Standard is also used as a communication tool to help designers share their thoughts with customers or manufacturers.
NOTE: This course is available as part of the Gold & Platinum Training Passports.
What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Introduction:
About This Course | Windows 7 | Use of Colour
Lesson 1: Basic Flow Analysis
The first lesson of this course introduces the available mesh and element types and teaches the user how to set triangle sizes and mesh a model. The user will learn how to use input options to select plastics materials and injection locations, and then how to run, and review the results of the analysis, predicting and displaying the weld lines.
Lesson 2: Detecting a Short Shot
In lesson 2 the user will be taught how to detect a short shot, and how to change the fill settings; including fill time and injection pressure limits, to fix this issue.
Lesson 3: Automation Tools
Lesson 3 introduces the user to the Copy & Duplicate functions and then will show users how to run batch analysis jobs using the batch manager. Finally, the user will learn how to create summary and report files.
Lesson 4: Injection Locations & Sink Marks
Upon successful completion of lesson 4 the user will understand the rules for positioning an injection location and be able to predict, interrogate and minimise sink marks.
Lesson 5: Materials
In this lesson, the user will lean how to create customer materials as well as gain an understand of which material properties are required to run an analysis successfully.
Lesson 6: Mesh Manipulation
Upon completion of lesson 6 the user will be able to find and understand element issues as well as edit the mesh and make repairs.
Lesson 7: Detecting Air Traps
Lesson 7 shows the user how to detect air traps in the mould cavity and how to make changes to a part and re-analyse it.
