From ProE:
Open your Widget file, NOT your mould tool
Application > Plastic Advisor - DO NOT select an injection point
First pick the Injection Point Location.
Then go to the Analysis Wizard, select Plastic Filling and pick Next.
*The LDPE used in the Department, as detailed above, is not included in the database in Plastic Advisor. To set up this polymer you will have to find a similar product, Copy its properties and then Edit its characteristics.
Once you have chosen an injection location, select the next icon along the toolbar – the Analyze button. Once the analysis has run you can consider the report from the system and view different types of results using the Result Type drop down selection window on the left.
You can also consider weld lines (where two ‘fronts’ of flowing plastic come together) and look for air traps.
