SOLIDWORKS Plastics: Simulation Setup Guide

Показать описание
Learn how to setup a basic mold filling analysis using SOLIDWORKS Plastics 2021. In this video we will run the Flow or Fill portion of the molding cycle to predict the mold fill of a plastic bezel.

Note that the 2020 and 2021 versions of SOLIDWORKS Plastics received significant user interface enhancements. The process for older versions will be a similar workflow but with a substantially different user interface.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard allows the prediction of common molding defects such as short shots / partial fills and knit lines / weld lines. It also enables quickly testing different variations of the geometry through configurations, testing different polymers, and predicting performance of different gate or injection locations and clamp tonnage required.

Hello, after finishing first simulations with a shell study, I wanted to proceed with solid studies. Unfortunatly, the simulation does not start and the message "# Number of available cores= 8 " is displayed. Could someone help me with that? Thank you in advance!

A very thorough explanation! I was wondering if it's also possible to check cooling effectiveness using SolidWorks plastics

In plastic analysis in SolidWorks 2022, if I don't have the option to define a mold, what can I do? I have the full version
