I-DEAS for Plastics(tm) simulation software products allow manufactures to significantly improve the quality of their plastic parts and components. A signle coupled simulation for fillinf, coolong and wrapage helps users achieve increased accuracy by evaluating the interrelated effects of all three simulations. Since mold temperatures and heat transfer strongly influence flow behavior, the coupling of thermal and flow into a simultaneous interactive solution provides unparalleled accuracy. Not only are usres assured of complete fill, but they are also able to focus attention on improved part quality by optimally locating welds. This minimizes material degradation and controls undesirable stresses that may cause unacceptable discoloration, structural degradation, part deformation and wrap.
