Methodologies Developed
Filling & Packing Analysis
Guidelines
• Mesh Model selection &
approach according to
objective
• Pressure , temperature, time
criterions w.r.t. material family.
• Boundry conditions developed
to minimize the Gap between
actual and simulation.
Runner Balancing
Methodology For Multi
cavity Molds
• Specific approach developed
for Runner balancing to get
maximum close results at
practical.
• All Runner balancing validation
through actual 3D core cavity
meshing and analysis to get
95% confidence.
Mold Cooling Analysis
Methodologies
• PRE – Mold design cooling
analysis methodology to give
inputs for efficient cooling
channel design before start of
Mold design activity.
• POST-Mold design cooling
analysis approach to highlight
the issues in part cooling and
respective suggestions to
reduce cycle time quality
issues in parts.

Moldflow Case Study - Appliances
Part - Battery cover parts
Material – ABS
Mold – Family Mold of 4 parts
Target-
Balance filling above 90%
Minimum filling Pressure
Part surface without visual marks
Challenges:
Big v/s Small part volume ratio is 1:100
Maximum wall thickness is 2.6mm
Minimum wall thickness of 1.1mm
Simulation 80% Actual 80%
Observation:
Default mesh model and analysis not
helped to get desired results correlation.
Specific approach required to optimize.

Part – Transparent Cover
Material – PMMA
Mold – Single gate cold runner
Target-
Solve Problem of sink, flow marks.
Reduce required clamp force.
Reduce scrap rate in trials.
Challenges:
Mold developed without analysis.
Cold sprue with gate , No hot runner
Very less scope to play for gate location
Existing with Issues Improved after analysis
Observation:
Balance filling is very important. Able to
solve sink, Flow mark issues. Clamping
reduced from 650T to 500T.
