SIGMASOFT® is the market leader in the simulation of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) applications. Beyond the simulation of filling and curing, it is the only software in the market able to effortlessly integrate the complete mold information within the simulation, so that the impact of tempering concepts, processing times and inserts can be evaluated. Its highly developed 3D solver technology allows simulating precisely complex flow effects, such as jetting or plug-flow, and it reliable predicts the flow and curing behavior of thick-walled parts.
Highlights
- Prediction of the filling behavior
- Prediction of flow front propagation, fountain flow, plug flow behavior and jetting effects
- Calculation of curing and scorch, also during filling
- Cold runner functionality
- Cascade injection
- Multi-component simulation
- Prediction of shear imbalances
- Evaluation of low viscosity LSRs
- Clamping force calculation
- Holding (packing) simulation
- Effect of the exothermic reaction during curing on the temperature distribution
- Effect of the curing reaction on the viscosity
- Curing time and curing degree (cross-linking) at every location of the part
- Air traps location
- Simulation of electrical heaters in the mold with coupled PI control
- Effect of insert pre-heating and insert material in the curing behavior
- Post-curing outside the mold and external tempering (2nd heating cycle)
- Optimization of heating time and detection of cold spots
- FEM Interface to MARC, Ansys, Abaqus, etc.
