Why Stress Analysis
Stress analysis has been mainly applied for designers to observe stress distribution inside parts and part inserts. The stress distribution has a significant impact on part quality and structural strength, influenced by many molding factors, including temperature, force, part shape and size, material properties, etc. The stress over safety loading may destroy structural strength and cause breakage on the part. Therefore, obtaining accurate stress analysis results upfront is crucial for designers to reduce fatigue failure and extend product life cycle.
Challenges
- Visualize stress and displacement distributions of parts and part inserts
- Evaluate plastic displacements under certain external loadings
- Evaluate mechanical strength around welding line region
- Evaluate structure resistance in consideration with fiber orientation effect
What Can Moldex3D Stress Do?
- Predict potential deformation problems to evaluate material properties and process conditions
- Consider welding line effect to provide more accurate prediction on strength reduction
Severe necking phenomenon can be observed in Z-displacement contour figure
- Consider fiber orientation effect that will affect shrinkage and part strength
(a) Blue circle: randomly oriented; (b) Red circle: highly oriented Fiber orientation distribution
- Predict the displacement of inserts due to non-uniform flow-induced pressure with accurate 2-way Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) consideration for Core Shift behavior of MCM, as well as Wire Sweep and Paddle Shift behaviors of IC Packaging
