Skills
CADMOULD Foam enables the simulation of foam injection molding. You can simulate all common chemical and physical foam injection molding processes, such as MuCell®, Cellmould® and Optifoam®. CADMOULD Foam computes the following results, for foam materials:
- Filling
- Density distribution in the part
- Bubble distribution and size
- Clamping forces
- Component weight
- Cooling times
- Weld lines and air inclusions
- Pressure distribution
- Temperatures
- Flow speeds
- Shrinkage and warpage
Foam builds on the following functionality from other modules: filling (Fill module), holding pressure and cooling phase (Pack module), and shrinkage and warpage (Warp module).
Benefits
- Detect filling problems early on (air inclusions, weld lines, etc.), taking into account the influence of the foam on the viscosity
- Optimize propellant and gas / mass ratio
- Optimize part weight and density distribution
- Anticipate and fix shrinkage and warpage issues for foam projects
- Determine cycle times and clamping forces for foam projects
