Optimization Using Moldflow and HyperWorks Products

2008 iMUG

Many things have changed and improved since the 2008 International Moldflow User's Group conference.  However, here is an example of what can be achieved and what can be sought-after in the use of optimization along with mechanical and manufacturing simulation software.

These are my PowerPoint slides from that conference (converted to jpg's).

The "Error to Spec" is a comparison of the simulation error to the GD&T spec in the design.  The "Error" as calculated in the red regions represents a comparison of the part as simulated versus the ideal calculation (NATURE) of the ACTUAL part as molded, after it cools.
