Warp
Moldex3D Warp allows users to perform dynamic warpage analysis on thick parts and those parts that have extreme thickness changes. With Warp, users can easily validate part deforming ratio of shrinkage effect and efficiently identify warpage causes. For fiber-filled material, Warp incorporates fiber composite theories and fiber orientation results to predict its anisotropic shrinkage, residual stress, and material viscoelasticity effects on warpage. Furthermore, Warp can link through FEA Interface module, which integrated with most leading structure software to perform more realistic structural analysis.
Capabilities
Evaluate final part shape before actual molding
Evaluate unbalanced cooling effect on warpage
Evaluate volumetric shrinkage effect on warpage
Evaluate in-mold constraint effect on warpage
Evaluate thermal-induced residual stress and moldbase thermal deformation effect
Provide flatness to evaluate the warpage of surface appearance
Features
Part warpage analysis
Calculate final part shape due to material shrinkage as the temperature and pressure changes from the process settings to room conditions.
Residual stress analysis
After part ejection, the part shrinks and deforms to an equilibrium shape. At this moment, the remaining stress inside the part is called process-induced residual stress
Calculate residual stresses developed during the entire molding cycle, including effects of temperature and pressure distributions, material orientation and geometric features
