    Hello, after create the study, I don't have the button to define the material. How can I find it out?

    How to check injection pressure drop and how to check shear rate ?please explain

      The "Pressure at End of Fill" plot and "Shear Rate at End of Fill" plot respectively, or if you just need the the maximum values are reported in the they are reported in the "Summary" visible at 10:11

    @hawkridgesystems in which format do we save such files and how we can use it?

    Hello, after finishing first simulations with a shell study, I wanted to proceed with solid studies. Unfortunatly, the simulation does not start and the message "# Number of available cores= 8 " is displayed. Could someone help me with that? Thank you in advance!

      Did you recreate the mesh after switching the study type to solid?

    A very thorough explanation! I was wondering if it's also possible to check cooling effectiveness using SolidWorks plastics

    • @hawkridgesystems
      @hawkridgesystems  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it is possible in SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium - the mold and cooling channels can be modeled and a separate "Cool" analysis performed. Performing the cool analysis upfront should also make all the subsequent results (Fill, Pack, Warp) more accurate as they will utilize the calculated cycle averaged mold temperature distribution, instead of a uniform mold wall temperature assumption. We'll plan a video to cover it in the future!

    In plastic analysis in SolidWorks 2022, if I don't have the option to define a mold, what can I do? I have the full version

    • @hawkridgesystems
      @hawkridgesystems  ปีที่แล้ว

      Which option are you referring to? Firstly check that you are in a SOLIDWORKS part file and not an assembly, as Plastics requires a part file to operate.
      Then you should be able to create a New Study, and edit the Injection Unit Settings. After editing the Injection Unit Settings you should see other options appear.

      @@hawkridgesystems Everything you said is true and exists, but I have a complete assembly at the end of a part that I am analyzing, and part of the assembly is a mold, and in the settings it only gives me an insert / cavity / runner. In addition, it does not allow me to set up a virtual mold

    • @hawkridgesystems
      @hawkridgesystems  ปีที่แล้ว

      Toward the top of your study tree you likely need to right click the "Simulation Type" and edit to include Cool analysis. The Cool calculation is what incorporates the Virtual Mold. Then you should see it show up when you right click Domains. This requires SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium and a Solid mesh analysis type.
      We'll try to get a tutorial for cooling analysis completed soon! In the meantime there should be one in the built-in tutorials referenced at 11:20

      Possibly you may need to reset your registry for SOLIDWORKS or perform a system repair

    if possible with Metals like Zamac, aluminium ?

    • @hawkridgesystems

      We've had some customers experiment with using SOLIDWORKS Plastics for high-pressure die casting, however it is not an officially supported application. It does work nicely for Metal Injection Molding (MIM) processes which utilize a powder with resin binder. We would definitely not recommend it for low-pressure metal processes including pour/sand casting.
