Injection gate placement can significantly influence fiber orientation and weld line formation in injection molded components. These process-driven microstructural variations affect material behavior and can have a major impact on structural performance and reliability.

In this webinar, we demonstrate how Digimat bridges the gap between manufacturing and structural simulation. You will learn how to evaluate different gate configurations, account for anisotropic material behavior, and identify potential weak points before physical testing.

What You Will Learn

• How injection gate location influences fiber orientation and weld line formation
• Why manufacturing-induced anisotropy can significantly impact structural performance
• How process-informed simulation helps identify potential weak points before physical testing
• How to compare gate configurations using displacement, plasticity, and failure indicators
• How simulation insights can support gate placement decisions for improved reliability and structural performance
