To prepare, run and interpret an analysis
To use the Adviser effectively, follow the list of tasks below. Click on the More buttons to find more detailed information about a particular task.
1. Create the cavity model.
Create the cavity model in your CAD system, then export the model to an Adviser acceptable file format.
2. Open the model.
The Adviser can open part and mesh files.
3. View the model.
Use the Adviser's extensive set of display and view controls to manipulate and investigate your model.
4. Pick injection location(s).
· Decide how many injection locations you want to use.
· If you decide to use a single injection location, you can use the Gate Location analysis.
· Create one or more injection locations.
5. Run the pre-analysis check.
7. Evaluate the results.
Review the Results Summary as well as the Results Advice for the Confidence of Fill, or Quality Prediction results. Examine all other results to determine whether the part can be manufactured, and find out what can be done to eliminate defects.
8. Improve the design and re-run the analysis.
Decide if the model will fill easily and create a good quality part.
Using the recommendations listed in the "Advice" sections of the Help system, change one of the parameters and then analyze the model again.
These parameters are:
· Position or number of injection locations
· Material
· Mold temperature
· Melt temperature
· Injection time
· Model geometry.
9. Create a report.
Using the Report Generator, create an HTML-based, Web-ready report that will communicate the analysis results, as well as any recommendations you want to convey.
10. Send the report.
Send your report to anyone who needs to see it.
