The list of file types directly supported is shown. Select Study files (*.sdy). 6 Navigate to the Tutorial folder where Autodesk Moldflow Insight is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight xxxx\tutorial. 7 Click the file model_4.sdy and click Open. 8 Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Thermoplastics Injection Molding) and select Thermoplastics Injection Molding from the drop-down menu. It should already be selected by default. 9 Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Sequence). The Select Analysis Sequence dialog appears. TIP: You can click More... for a complete list of analysis sequences for the Thermoplastics Injection Molding process. 10 Select Fill. Notice in the Project View pane that there is a symbol next to the study name. It shows you that you have selected a Fill analysis for that study. When the analysis has been run and results are available, the inside of the symbol is colored in. When analyzing a part from an imported CAD model, start with a basic filling ("Fill") analysis to check the filling pattern, injection pressure, and the location of air traps or weld lines. Once you are satisfied with the filling parameters for the part, you can run a Fill+Pack analysis (filling and packing phases). Then run further analyses such as cooling or warpage. Click the Next topic link below to move on to the next task of the tutorial. 1
6 Selecting the material 2 In this task, you will select a molding material. You can select a material based on: Supplier name. Trade name. Family of polymer. Filler material requirements.

Click the Next topic link below to move on to the next task of the tutorial. 16 Designing a multi-cavity layout
21 Designing a runner system 5 In this task, you will use the Runner System Wizard to design a runner system for the four-cavity layout you created in the previous task. 1 Ensure the Modeling tutorial project you created in task 1 is open. 2 Click (Home tab > Import panel > Import). 3 Select the Files of type drop-down list. The list of file types directly supported is shown. Select Study files (*.sdy). 4 Navigate to the tutorial folder where Autodesk Moldflow Insight is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight xxxx\tutorial. 5 Click the file model_4_multi_cavity.sdy and click Open. 6 Click (Home tab > Create panel > Geometry) to open the Geometry tab. 7 Click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Runner System). The Runner System Wizard dialog appears. The first page of the Wizard is used to specify the runner system layout. You will identify the sprue position and the parting plane location. You also will specify whether you want to use a hot runner system. 8 The Center of Mold and Center of Gates buttons specify where you would like the sprue to be relative to either the gates or the mold configuration. Click each of these buttons to see the calculated X and Y coordinates displayed. These options produce identical results for the layout in this example. This is because you selected Offset cavities to align gates in the previous task. 9 You will not create a hot runner system in this example, so leave the hot runner system creation option deselected. 10 Different parting plane configurations will affect the Z coordinate for the runner system. Click the three parting plane specification buttons Top, Bottom, and Gate Plane, and note the resulting Z coordinate. In this example, the appropriate option to select is Top, so click this option. 11 Click Next to move on to the next Wizard page. The second page of the Wizard is used to specify the sprue, runner, and drop sizes. 12 Enter the following values on the second page of the Runner System Wizard: Sprue settings: Orifice diameter: 5 mm Included angle: 3 Length: 50 mm 17
22 Runners settings: Diameter: 6 mm Select the Trapezoidal option Included angle: 15 The Drops section of the Wizard is grayed out in this example because you are not creating a hot runner system. 13 Click Next to move on to the final Wizard page. The third page of the Wizard is used to specify the side and top gates to be created. 14 Enter the following values on the third page of the Runner System Wizard: Side Gates settings: Orifice diameter: 3 mm Included angle: 15 Select the Angle option and specify 45 The Top Gates section of the Wizard is grayed out in this example because the injection locations are on the side of the part. 15 Click Finish to create the runner system. 16 Rotate the model to inspect the runner system visually. You should have obtained a runner system as shown in the following image. TIP: If you did not obtain the required results or you want to modify the design, click Undo from the Quick Access toolbar to remove the runner system. Then click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Runner System) to open the Wizard again. The Runner System Wizard remembers all the settings you last used so simply step through the wizard pages and make adjustments as required. It is also possible to create some or all the runner system manually. You can also change the size and style of runners, gates, and the sprue after you have created them. To do so, click (View tab > Navigate panel > Select), click the runner segment you want to change, right-click and select Properties. In the next task, you will use the Cooling Circuit Wizard to create a simple cooling circuit layout for the multi-cavity tool. 18 Designing a runner system
23 Click the Next topic link below to move on to the next task of the tutorial. Designing a runner system 19
24 Designing a cooling circuit 6 In this task, you will design a simple cooling circuit layout using the Cooling System Wizard. The Wizard cannot create all the possible features of a cooling system, but it is excellent for creating a quick initial layout that can serve as the basis for a more complex cooling system, for example, including bubblers, baffles, and other cooling aids. 1 Ensure the Modeling tutorial project you created in task 1 is open. 2 Click (Home tab > Import panel > Import). 3 Select the Files of type drop-down list. The list of file types directly supported is shown. Select Study files (*.sdy). 4 Navigate to the tutorial folder where Autodesk Moldflow Insight is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight xxxx\tutorial. 5 Click the file model_4_cooling.sdy and click Open. NOTE: The Cooling Circuit Wizard requires the part to lie in the XY plane. 6 Use the ViewCube to select the Front view. The model is oriented so that the parting plane lies in the YZ plane (shown in the following image). This is not the correct orientation for the successful creation of a cooling circuit. 20 Designing a cooling circuit
25 If the Cooling Circuit Wizard is used with the model orientation shown in the above illustration, the cooling circuit will be created in the XY plane. The incorrect cooling circuit that would be created is shown in the following image. 7 Click (Geometry tab > Selection panel > Select All). All elements in the model will turn pink. 8 Click (Geometry tab > Utilities panel > Move) and select Rotate from the drop-down menu. The Rotate dialog opens in the Tools tab. Designing a cooling circuit 21
26 9 Select Y Axis from the drop-down list and enter -90 in the Angle box. 10 Click Apply. 11 Select (View tab > Navigate panel > Zoom All) to view the layout. The XY plane is now parallel with the top surface of the model. 12 Click Close on the Tools tab in the Project pane. 13 Click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Cooling Circuit). The first page of the Cooling Circuit Wizard appears. This is used to specify the layout of the cooling circuits, in particular the channel diameters, the distance from the part surface to the cooling circuits, and the alignment of the circuits relative to the part. 14 Enter the following values on the first page of the Cooling Circuit Wizard: Channel diameter: 6 mm How far above and below: 15 mm Ensure that the Y alignment option is selected. 15 Click Next to move on to the next Wizard page. The second page of the Wizard is used to specify the number of channels, and their spacing relative to one another and the part. 16 Enter the following values: Number of channels: 4 Distance between channel centers: 40 Distance to extend beyond part: Click Preview. The bottom of the Wizard has two additional options: Delete existing circuits first Connect channels with hoses This option is active by default, and will remove any existing cooling circuits from the model before creating the circuits. Allows the Wizard to apply the optional Hose attribute to the connecting end segments of the cooling channel; for this exercise, leave the check box deselected. Cooling circuit segments with the Hose attribute will have a heat transfer effectiveness of zero and so they do not contribute to the cooling of the part. 18 Click Finish. 19 Rotate the model to inspect the cooling system visually. Your model should now look as shown in the following image. 22 Designing a cooling circuit
27 TIP: If you did not obtain the required results, click Undo on the Quick Access toolbar, to remove the cooling system, then click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Cooling Circuit) to restart the Wizard. The Wizard remembers all the settings you last used so simply step through the Wizard pages and make adjustments as required. It appears that the distance between cooling channels might be too large. 20 Alter the distance between cooling channels to 30mm using the above instructions. You will now inspect the coolant inlet parameters automatically applied by the Wizard and change the coolant inlet temperature in both circuits to 30 C. 21 Click (View tab > Navigate panel > Select), then click one of the light blue coolant inlet symbols to select it. They are situated at the start of the cooling circuits. 22 Right-click and select Properties. You will see the coolant is water and a default coolant temperature has been applied. 23 Change the coolant inlet temperature to 30 C, enter Water - 30 degrees in the Name box, and click OK. 24 Repeat with the other coolant inlet symbol. It is also possible to create some or all of the cooling circuits manually. You can also change the diameter of the cooling circuits after you have created them using the Cooling Circuit Wizard. To do so, click Select, click the cooling circuit segment you want to change, right-click and select Properties. Each item in the Study Tasks pane now has a checkmark next to it, and the Start Analysis! step should be active. This indicates that all the preliminary steps required for your analysis have been completed. The mold is now ready to analyze. If you Designing a cooling circuit 23
28 double-click the Start Analysis! icon in the Study Tasks pane, the analysis would start. This takes in excess of 10 minutes depending on your computer. The analysis has been done for you and will be discussed in the next task. Click the Next topic link below to move on to the next task of the tutorial. 24 Designing a cooling circuit
29 Basic model analysis 7 In the previous tasks, you prepared the tutorial model for analysis. You selected a material, designed a multi-cavity mold, and modeled the runner system and cooling system. In this task, you will: Examine the information generated by the analysis. Examine the graphical representation of the analysis results. Determine the result value at a selected point on the mold. Look at a brief description of some of the major results. 1 Ensure the Modeling tutorial project you created in task 1 is open. 2 Click (Home tab > Import panel > Import). 3 Click on the model drop-down arrow to see the list of supported file types. 4 Select Study files (*.sdy). 5 Navigate to the Tutorials folder where Autodesk Moldflow Insight is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Moldflow Insight xxxx\tutorial. 6 Click the file model_4_analysis.sdy and click Open. In this study, a Fill analysis has been completed on the model from the previous task and results are available for review. 7 Select Logs from the Study Tasks pane to show the Logs pane. There are five tabs across the pane. The Mesh Log tab summarizes any mesh alterations undertaken in the study with the parameters used to generate the mesh. As there have been no alterations, this tab is blank. The Analysis Log tab records the analysis inputs, the progress of the analysis, and some key results. If any warnings or errors occurred, they are displayed in the Analysis Log. There is a warning about the low mesh match percentages. We made a decision in an earlier task to maintain the low mesh ratio. The Filling tab presents the analysis inputs and the summary results, including bulk temperature, shear stress, and frozen layer fraction at the end of the filling stage. The low mesh match percentage is also reported in this tab. The Machine Setup tab outlines the processing parameters used for the analysis. This includes the material used, the machine specifications, and temperature and injection settings that should be used on the injection molding machine. The Filling-Check tab presents the results of the checks performed at the beginning of the analysis. Once an analysis is complete, a selection of results are made available in the Study Tasks pane. For a Fill (or Fill+Pack) analysis, the results appear in a Flow folder. If a different 25
30 Analysis Sequence were selected, Fill + Cool + Fill+Pack + Warp for example, there would be additional folders for the results of the analysis types undertaken. The Fill analysis that was run in this study was based on the default process settings for the selected material. You can edit these default process settings in the Process Settings Wizard to reflect the actual manufacturing settings. To do this, double-click Process Settings in the Study Tasks pane. Alternatively, click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings). If you change process settings, you must run the analysis again to see the results. Most of the results of the analysis are listed in the Study Tasks pane. 1 To view one of these results, click the checkbox next to the result name in the Study Tasks pane. The result will be displayed graphically in the Model pane. TIP: To view the exact value of a result at any location on the part, click (Results tab > Plots panel > Examine), and click one or more locations on the model. 2 To view the full list of results from the analysis and/or create a customized version of any of the results, click (Results tab > Plots panel > New Plot). You will look at altering the format of these plots in the Postprocessing tutorial. Autodesk Moldflow Insight gives detailed information about the part design, material, and processing conditions used in the simulation. Some of the Fill analysis results available are listed below. Fill Time Pressure at V/P switchover Average velocity Orientation at core Time to reach ejection temperature Bulk temperature The Fill time result shows the flow path of the plastic through the part. This result can be animated against the time required to fill the part. The Pressure result shows the pressure distribution through the flow path inside the mold at the switchover point from velocity to pressure control. The Average velocity result plot displays the flow direction, and the average magnitude of velocity of the polymer inside the mold cavity. The Orientation at core result is created at the end of a filling analysis and provides a good indication of how molecules or fibers would be oriented at the part core when using a fiber-filled material. The Time to reach ejection temperature result shows the time taken for the part to freeze to ejection temperature, measured from the start of the cycle. The Bulk temperature result displays the weighted average temperature across the thickness of the part at the time the result was written. Bulk temperature represents the energy that is transported through a particular location. 26 Basic model analysis
31 Weld lines Air traps The Weld lines result indicates the presence and location of weld in the filled part model. Weld lines appear as black lines on the model, and can indicate weakness. To see all of the weld lines, you may need to rotate the model. The Air traps result shows the regions where the melt stops at a convergence of at least two flow fronts, or at the last point of fill. The regions highlighted in the result are positions of possible air traps. To see all of the air traps, you may need to rotate the model. Air traps appear as large red outlines on the model. The Fill Time and Pressure results are good starting points when checking the results of an analysis. They will show you where there may be filling or pressure distribution problems associated with the part design. If problems are indicated, you may need either to change the part design or use a different combination of material and processing conditions.
