Thermoplastic Overmolding - with cooling simulation

[madhukeshwart]

There must be a provision to simulation cooling for ' thermoplastic overmolding' process

i.e  'Cool + fill+ pack + over molding fill + overmolding pack + warp'  option

Probably Autodesk team should develope the same.

Yes, that is a feature we would also like to use. A second Cool option for the overmolding part should also be regarded, so the process would be: [Cool + Fill + Pack (1st shot) ] + [Cool + Fill + Pack (2nd shot) ] + Warp I know that this concept needs to be designed in detail as it may become complicated with two or more molds including cooling channels and so on. But there are many projects in this area recently.

Hi Madhukeshwar and M. Brassel,

The Autodesk Moldflow User Experience team are researching this topic at the moment and we would like to get some feedback from you about your requirements.  I will contact you individually to see if we can set up a call to discuss this in more depth.

Thanks,

Caroline Dorin
