Thank you for the video. Regarding the mold shrinkage compensation. Does it make sense to use it with an imported model that already has the shrinkage compensation? Or should this "option" be used only at an earlier stage to get a potencial shrinkage value? Thanks
Hello! We would recommend to not use the mold compensation on a part that already has compensation applied to it. Using Mold Shrinkage Compensation when the model already has shrinkage applied double-considers the shrinkage and would give an inaccurate representation of the final molded part.
Standard Warp calculates all components of warpage separately whereas Enhanced Warp calculates all components intrinsically. Enhanced Warp is a more sound theoretical approach to warpage, but only gives the combined displacement results, so if you want the components of warpage (temperature effect, fiber effect, differential temperature effect, etc), then you can run Standard Warp.

Excellent. THANK YOU.
Very nice tip regarding removing the linear shrinkage from the warpage results.
Really glad you found it useful! It is a very powerful tool to figure out where the warpage is actually occurring in the part!

what is the difference between standard & enhanced in warp computation? when to use standard and when to use enhance?
Standard Warp calculates all components of warpage separately whereas Enhanced Warp calculates all components intrinsically.

Simulation model is an injection mold cavity?
You are correct! This is an injection molded part.
have a nice day. I have a request from you, can you share Moldex 3D with me? Thanks
