pp. 11-16
The finite element analysis software ANSYS is applied for the simulation study of the process of filling complicated cavity. The results are similar with those Crocher got by the commercial software Polymold, indicating that both the model and calculation method are feasible. And prediction is made of conditions of the occurrence of some common defects. Discussion is made on how to select the injection process parameters based on the simulation results by the analysis of the distribution of fluid front, temperature and pressure fields. The prospect of future application is presented.
