Process-Oriented Approach Opens Brand New Possibilities for Injection Molding Simulation
4/11/2012
With the process-oriented approach from SIGMASOFT®, the injection molding simulation is no longer limited to the stage of article design but can be used during the mold development, sampling, identification of processing windows and production trouble-shooting.
Schaumburg, IL, April 1st 2012 - SIGMA Plastic Services, Inc., Schaumburg, IL, will present SIGMASOFT® - The Virtual Process and Mold Development software designed for injection molding processes at the NPE 2012, North/South Hall, Booth 65027 including the latest functionality improvements of SIGMASOFT®.
As a standard practice, simulation tools are used during the development of injection molded parts. These simulation tools, which are based on empirical values and mathematical models, predict the filling of the mold, the post-pressure and cooling stages up to the ejection of the part, as well as the final deformation of the part. However, accurate and reliable simulations can only be achieved if, besides the CAD geometries, all relevant factors such as mold, hot runner systems and process parameters are integrated into the simulation with all required physical data.
The high level of complexity required during modeling and the simplifications that are apparent in conventional injection molding simulation software are not able to achieve this integration. However, the "Finite-Volume-Method" used by SIGMASOFT® makes it possible to easily and quickly integrate all available geometry and process-related information at every stage during the product development cycle. The meshing of the simulation model is completely automatic and does not require additional rework, a unique feature which offers a clear advantage in productivity and expands the benefits of process simulation from the part design engineer to the quality-responsible personnel in production. Never before has this been possible.
With the CAD files loaded and automatic mesh generated, the process is defined to incorporate the actual production process values. Subsequently, a single-cycle thermal analysis of the part and mold is conducted to identify hot and cold spots in the part and mold. Part orientation and cooling line location and temperature are all optimized to minimize the cycle time while reducing thermal gradients which negatively influence part distortion. Consequently, it is possible to evaluate the efficiency of the tempering system based on the energy consumption. Furthermore it is possible to predict the correct ejection forces and the influence of post-molding tempering processes, such as painting, galvanization, or annealing on the stress distribution on the part and the resulting dimensional stability. Removal of part material during machining operations and the redistribution of stresses can also be considered.
The injection molding simulation with SIGMASOFT® is therefore not limited to the evaluation of part designs, but can also support all subsequent development phases with detailed information. SIGMASOFT® is used throughout the complete process to make critical decisions about part and mold design, preproduction sampling, identification of processing windows and production trouble-shooting.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
