Abstract :
With MoldFlow, the injection molding process of the fan back cover is simulated. The cover´s structure is analyzed and its 3-D model is girded and improved. The filling process is studied with the gate´s different forms and locations from the weld line, cavitation and so on, and the gate design is optimized. The warpage deformation and volume shrinkage in different processing parameters are analyzed, and thus the process parameters are optimized.
