Through both fully accredited testing and in-house testing capabilities, our team uses state-of-the- art equipment and software to generate data for insight into material behavior, environmental effects, and more.
Material Data Sets • A number of material characterization data sets are available in .udb, moldex 3D, and SIMPOE format Mold Filling Simulation (see examples below) • Serves to validate part design (e.g., gate location, fill/pack/warp/cool) & material solution • Evaluates component design viability with preferred Avient material solution • Fiber analysis determines fiber orientation and length • Predicts part quality and manufacturability (shrink, warp, weld line location) FILLING PART QUALITYFIBER ORIENTATION Finite Element Analysis (FEA) • Virtually simulates how an application will perform in real-world conditions with a high level of precision • Able to represent a variety of problems, test methods, models and outputs to evaluate the design, process and material combination for validation or optimization FEA Simulation Capabilities • Static - Displacement/rotations - Stress and strains - Contact pressure - Reaction forces/moments - Factors of safety • Vibration - Eigen frequencies - Harmonic response ○ Harmonic displacement, acceleration and stress Software Used • Autodesk Moldflow • Simulia/Abaqus • MSC Cradle • CAD/CAE - MSC Apex - SolidWorks • Failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) support By leveraging mold filling simulation, data software, and physical simulation capabilities, we can help inform your decision-making process.
