  Dimensional COOLING CHANNEL and Checks On Tempeature Distribution. It considers the appropriant calling and propuct thickness.

  The tool also enables evaluation of quality and reliability for moulded product by predicting deformation due to residual stress and thermal influence. It also evaluates product quality through heating techniques such as annealing, painting, heat cycle testing. Some of the other optimisation functions include proposing parameters such as optimum gate position and product wall thickness for improved efficiency of analysis work. To evaluate the strength of the parts, the tool helps predict nonlinear properties from analysis results of fibre orientation. It also challenges marginal design by conducting highly accurate strength evaluation in combination with structure analysis. Direct Fiber Simulations (DFS) helps forecasts bending and breaking of reinforcing fibre, fibre length, density distribution and performs high accuracy and strength evaluation of warp age-induced deformation analysis. Some of the unique extensional functions of 3DTIMONTM include AMDESS which aids in an automatic design optimisation. For example, it can find out optimum shape and thickness to reduce warpage, optimum gate position to shift the weld position etc. Ejector Pin Evaluation Tools – Buckling Risk / Buckling Load is another such feature which allows the system , based on the concept of fast and quick check analysis result by setting analysis conditions according to the workflow. Thermosetting resin analysis through ReactiveMould feature corresponds to injection moulding and transfer moulding to predict filling, fibre orientation, and warping for use in automotive electronics. Compression moulding analysis – through CompositePRESS predicts filling, fibre orientation, and warp deformation in thermosetting SMC and BMC moulding, as well as thermoplastic stamping moulding. It can be utilised for studying weight reduction by replacing metal parts.

  Case Studies

  

  

  In one of the case studies at the OEM, the objective was to establish vibration characteristic prediction technology in CF-SMC moulding considering fibre orientation. CF-SMC moulding develops anisotropic mechanical properties depending on moulding conditions. Therefore, in order to accurately evaluate the quality of moulded products such as vibration characteristics, establishment of techniques for predicting the orientation state of CF long fibres that exhibits anisotropy is necessary. Methods involved were Prediction of fiber strand orientation by 3DTIMON-CompositePRESS considering SMC moulding process, prediction of the anisotropic property as a fibre strand and lastly, predicting vibration Thermosetting Compression Moulding characteristics by structural analysis, considering anisotropic characteristics. As per the results obtained, the vibration characteristics can be evaluated with high accuracy by defining the mechanical characteristics as a fibre strand from the fibre orientation results of 3DTIMON -CompositePRESS and use thereafter for vibration analysis. Toray Engineering is currently also looking at implementing AI functions in 3DTIMONTM in collaboration with TDS. Customisation of 3DTIMON is therefore expected to continue in the future and find relevance in broad-based Thermosetting Compression Moulding applications. ACI
