This seminar is offered to anyone involved in the design and
production of injection molded plastic parts. This course provides
students with an overview of concepts and procedures involved in the
simulation of the injection molding process.
The seminar takes the student through the journey of how Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) has helped with improving the quality of the parts produced by
the injection molding process. The seminar starts with a review of how the
variables in the part design - molding material, processing and mold
design -can affect the part quality and can be taken into account in FEA
analysis. Students will learn a brief history of finite element
analysis, theory and some of the equations solved in the calculations.
To illustrate the concepts, students will evaluate the advantages of
finite element analysis through the usage of Autodesk® Moldflow® Adviser
and Autodesk® Moldflow® Insight products in the laboratory through hands
on practice exercises.
Note: This course serves as an overview. It is not designed as a
substitute for any of the regular training courses offered by Autodesk®.
