英文原文A CAD/CAE-integrated injection mold design system for plastic products Abstract Mold design is a knowledge-intensive process. This paper describes a knowledge-based oriented, parametric, modular and feature-based integrated computer-aided design/computer-aided engineering (CAD/CAE) system for mold design. Development of CAx systems for numerical simulation of plastic injection molding and mold design has opened new possibilities of product analysis during the mold design. The proposed system integrates Pro/ENGINEER system with the specially developed module for the calculation of injection molding parameters, mold design, and selection of mold elements. The system interface uses parametric and CAD/CAE feature-based database to streamline the process of design, editing, and reviewing. Also presented are general structure and part of output results from the proposed CAD/ CAE-integrated injection mold design system.Keywords Mold design . Numerical simulation . CAD . CAE1 IntroductionInjection molding process is the most common molding process for making plastic parts. Generally, plastic injection molding design includes plastic product design, mold design, and injection molding process design, all of which contribute to the quality of the molded product as well as production efficiency [1]. This is process involving many design parameters that need to be considered in a concurrent manner. Mold design for plastic injection molding aided by computers has been focused by a number of authors worldwide for a long period. Various authors have developed program systems which help engineers to design part, mold, and selection parameters of injection molding. During the last decade, many authors have developed computer-aided design/computer-aided engineering (CAD/CAE) mold design systems for plastic injection molding. Jong et al. [2] developed a collaborative integrated design system for concurrent mold design within the CAD mold base on the web, using Pro/E. Low et al. [3] developed an application for standardization of initial design of plastic injection molds. The system enables choice and management of mold base of standard mold plates, but does not provide mold and injection molding calculations. The authors proposed a methodology of standardizing the cavity layout design system for plastic injection mold such that only standard cavity layouts are used. When standard layouts are used, their layout configurations can be easily stored in a database. Lin at al. [4, 5] describe a structural design system for 3D drawing mold based on functional features using a minimum set of initial information. In addition, it is also applicable to assign the functional features flexibly before accomplishing the design of a solid model for the main parts of a drawing mold. This design system includes modules for selection and calculation of mold components. It uses Pro/E modules Pro/Program and Pro/Toolkit, and consists of modules for mold selection, modification and design. Deng et al. [6, 7] analyzed development of the CAD/CAE integration. The authors also analyzed systems and problems of integration between CAD and CAE systems for numerical simulation of injection molding andmold design. Authors propose a feature ontology consisting of a number of CAD/CAE features. This feature represents not only the geometric information of plastic part, but also the design intent is oriented towards analysis. Part features contain the overall product information of a plastic part, wall features, development features (such as chamfer, ribs, boss, hole, etc.), treatment features which contain analysis-related design information and sub wall developed features. Wall and development features are so called ―component features‖. God ec et al. [8, 9] developed a CAE system for mold design and injection molding parameters calculations. The system is based on morphology matrix and decision diagrams. The system is used for thermal, rheological and mechanical calculation, and material base management,Fig. 1 General structure of integrated injection mold design system for plastic productsbut no integration with commercial CAx software is provided. Huang et al. [10] developed a mold-base design system for injection molding. The database they used was parametric and feature-based oriented. The system used Pro/E for modeling database components. Kong et al. [11]developed a parametric 3D plastic injection mold design system integrated with solid works. Other knowledge-based systems, such as IMOLD, ESMOLD, IKMOULD, and IKBMOULD, have been developed for injection mold design. IMOLD divides mold design into four major steps; parting surface design, impression design, runner system design, and mold-base design. The software uses a knowledge-based CAD system to provide an interactive environment, assist designers in the rapid completion of mold design, and promote the standardization of the mold design process. IKB-MOULD application consists of databases and knowledge bases for mold manufacturing. Lou et al. [12] developed an integrated knowledge-based system for mold base design. The system has module for impression calculation, dimension calculation, calculation of the number of mold plates and selection of injection machine. The system uses Pro/ Mold Base library. This paper describes KBS and key technologies, such as product modeling, the frame-rule method, CBS, and the neural networks. A multilayer neural network has been trained by back propagation BP. This neural network adopts length, width, height and the number of parts in the mold as input and nine parameters (length, width, and height of up and down set-in, mold bases side thickness, bottom thickness of the core, and cavity plates) as output. Mok et al. [13, 14] developed an intelligent collaborative KBS for injection molds. Mok at el. [15] has developed an effective reuse and retrieval system that can register modeled standard parts using a simple graphical user interface even though designers may not know the rules of registration for a database. The mold design system was developed using an Open API and commercial CAD/computer aided manufacturing (CAM)/CAE solution. The system was applied to standardize mold bases and mold parts in Hyundai Heavy Industry. This system adopted the method of design editing, which implements the master model using features. The developed system provides methods whereby designers can register the master model, which is defined as a function of 3D CAD, as standard parts and effectively reuse standard parts even though they do not recognize the rules of the database.Todic et al. [16] developed a software solution for automated process planning for manufacturing of plastic injection molds. This CAD/CAPP/CAM system does not provide CAE calculation of parameters of injection molding and mold design. Maican et al. [17] used CAE for mechanical, thermal, and rheological calculations. They analyzed physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of plastic materials. They defined the critical parameters of loaded part. Nardin et al. [18] tried to develop the system which would suit all the needs of the injection molding for selection of the part–mold–technology system. The simulation results consist of geometrical and manufacturing data. On the basis of the simulation results, part designers can optimize part geometry, while mold designers can optimize the running and the cooling system of the mold. The authors developed a program which helps the programmers of the injection molding machine to transfer simulation data directly to the machine. Zhou et al. [1] developed a virtual injection molding system based on numerical simulation. Ma et al. [19] developed standard component library for plastic injection mold design using an object-oriented approach. This is an objector iented, library model for defining mechanical components parametrically. They developed anobject-oriented mold component library model for incorporating different geometric topologies and non-geometric information. Over the years, many researchers have attempted to automate a wholeFig. 2 Structure of module for numerical simulation of injection molding processFig. 3 Forms to define the mold geometrymold design process using various knowledge-based engineering (KBE) approaches, such as rule-based reasoning (RBR), and case base (CBR) and parametric design template (PDT). Chan at al. [20] developed a 3D CAD knowledge-based assisted injection mold design system (IKB mold). In their research, design rules and expert knowledge of mold design were obtained from experienced mold designers and handbooks through various traditional knowledge acquisition processes. The traditional KBE approaches, such as RBR, CBR, and simple PDT have been successfully applied to mold cavity and runner layout design automation of the one product mold. Ye et al. [21] proposed a feature-based and object-oriented hierarchical representation and simplified symbolic geometry approach for automation mold assembly modeling. The previously mentioned analysis of various systems shows that authors used different ways to solve the problems of mold design by reducing it to mold configureator (selector). They used CAD/CAE integration for creating precision rules for mold-base selection. Many authors used CAE system for numerical simulation of injection molding to define parameters of injection molding. Several also developed original CAE modules for mold and injection molding process calculation. However, common to all previously mentioned systems is the lack of module for calculation of mold and injection molding parameters which would allow integration with the results of numerical simulation. This leads to conclusion that there is a need to create a software systemwhich integrates parameters of injection molding with the result obtained by numericalFig. 4 Forms to determine the distance between the cooling channels and mold cavityFig. 5 Mold-base selector formssimulation of injection molding, mold calculation, and selection. All this would be integrated into CAD/CAE-integrated injection mold design system for plastic products.2 Structure of integrated CAD/CAE systemAs is well known, various computational approaches for supporting mold design systems of various authors use design automation techniques such as KBE (RBR, CBR, PDT) or design optimisation techniques such as traditional (NLP,LP, BB, GBA, IR, HR) or meta heuristic search such as (TS, SA, GA) and other special techniques such as (SPA, AR, ED).The developed interactive software system makes possible to perform: 3D modeling of the parts, analysis of part design and simulation model design, numerical simulation of injection molding, and mold design with required calculations.The system consists of four basic modules:& Module for CAD modeling of the part& Module for numerical simulation of injection molding processFig. 6 Form for mechanical mold calculation& Module for calculation of parameters of injection molding and mold design calculation and selection& Module for mold modeling (core and cavity design and design all residual mold components) The general structure of integrated injection mold design system for plastic products is shown in Fig. 1.2.1 Module for CAD modeling of the part (module I)The module for CAD modeling of the part is the first module within the integrated CAD/CAE system. This module is used for generating CAD model of the plastic product and appropriate simulation model. The result of this module is solid model of plastic part with all necessary geometrical and precision specifications. Precision specifications are: project name, number, feature ID, feature name, position of base point, code number of simulation annealing, trade material name, material grade, part tolerance, machine specification (name, clamping force, maximal pressure, dimensions of work piece), and number of cavity. If geometrical and precision specification is specified (given) with product model, the same are used as input to the next module, while this module is used only to generate the simulation model.2.2 Module for numerical simulation of injection molding process (module II)Module II is used for numerical simulation of injection molding process. User implements an iterative simulation process for determining the mold ability parameters of injection molding and simulation model specification. The structure of this module is shown in Fig. 2.After a product model is imported and a polymer is selected from the plastic material database,user selects the best location for gating subsystem. The database contains rheological, thermal, andmechanical properties of plastic materials. User defines parameters of injection molding and picks the location for the gating subsystem. Further analyses are carried out: the plastic flow, fill time, injection pressure, pressure drop, flow front temperature, presence of weld line, presence of air traps, cooling quality, etc.The module offers four different types of mold flow analysis. Each analysis is aimed at solving specific problems:& Part analysis—This analysis is used to test a known gate location, material, and part geometry to verify that a part will have acceptable processing conditions.& Gate analysis—This analysis tests multiple gate locations and compares the analysis outputs to determine the optimal gate location.& Sink mark analysis—This analysis detects sink mark locations and depths to resolve cosmetic problems before the mold is built eliminating quality disputes that could arise between the molder and the customer.The most important parameters are the following: [22]& Part thickness& Flow length& Radius and drafts,& Thickness transitions& Part material& Location of gates& Number of gates& Mold temperature& Melt temperature& Injection pressure& Maximal injection molding machine pressureIn addition to the previously mentioned parameters of injection molding, the module shows following simulation results: welding line position, distribution of air traps, the distribution of injection molding pressure, shear stressFig. 7 Segment of the mechanical calculation algorithmdistribution, temperature distribution on the surface of the simulation model, the quality of filling of a simulation model, the quality of a simulation model from the standpoint of cooling, and time of injection molding [22, 23]. A part of output results from this module are the input data for the next module. These output results are: material grade and material supplier, modulus of elasticity in the flow direction, modulus of elasticity transverse direction, injection pressure, ejection temperature, mold temperature, melting temperature, highest melting temperature thermoplastic, thermoplastic density in liquid and solid state, and maximum pressure of injection molding machine. During implementation of iterative SA procedure, user defines the moldability simulation model and the parameters of injection molding. All results are represented by different colors in the regions of the simulation model.2.3 Module for calculation of parameters of injection molding and mold design calculation and selection (module III)This module is used for analytical calculations, mold sizing, and its selection. Two of the more forms for determining the dimensions of core and cavity mold plates are shown in Fig. 3.Based on the dimensions of the simulation model and clamping force (Fig. 3) user selects the mold material and system calculates the width and length of core and cavity plates. Wall thickness between the mold cavity to the cooling channel can be calculated with the following three criteria: criterion allowable shear stress, allowable bending stress criterion, and the criterion of allowable angle isotherms are shown in Fig. 4 [22, 24]. The system adopts the maximum value of comparing the values of wall thickness calculated by previously mentioned criteria.Fig. 8 Forms for standard mold plates selectionFig. 9 Forms for mold plate model generationBased on the geometry of the simulation model, user select shape and mold type. Forms for the selection mold shape, type, and subsystems are shown in Fig. 5. Once these steps are completed, user implements the thermal, rheological, and mechanical calculation of mold specifications. An example of one of the several forms for mechanical mold calculation is shown in Fig. 6. Segment of the algorithm of mechanical calculations is shown in Fig. 7.Where,f max maximal flexure of cavity platef dop allowed displacement of cavity plateε elastic deformationαmin minimal value of shrinkage factorE k modulus of elasticity of cavity plateG shear modulusS k wall thickness distance measuring between cavity and waterlined KT cooling channel diameterAfter the thermal, rheological, and mechanical calculations, user selects mold plates from the mold base. Form for the selection of standard mold plates is shown in Fig. 8. The system calculates the value of thickness of risers, fixed, and movable mold plates (Fig. 8). Based on the calculated dimensions, the system automatically adopts the first major standard value for the thickness of risers, movable, and fixed mold plate. Calculation of the thickness and the adoption of standard values are presented in the form as shown in Fig. 8.The interactive system recommends the required mold plates. The module loads dimensions from the database and generates a solid model of the plate. After the plate selection, the plate is automatically dimensioned, material plate isFig. 10 Structure of module IVassigned, and 3D model and 2D technical drawing are generated on demand. Dimensions of mold component (e.g., fixed plate) are shown in the form for mold plate mode generation, as shown in Fig. 9.The system loads the plate size required from the mold base. In this way, load up any othernecessary standard mold plates that make up the mold subassembly. Subassembly mold model made up of instance plates are shown in Fig. 10Then get loaded other components of subsystems as shown in Fig. 5. Subsystem for selection other components include bolts and washers. The way of components selection are based on a production rules by authors and by company ―D-M-E‖ [25, 26].2.4 Module for mold modeling (core and cavity design and design all residual mold components; module IV)This module is used for CAD modeling of the mold (core and cavity design). This module uses additional software tools for automation creating core and cavity from simulation (reference) model including shrinkage factor of plastics material and automation splitting mold volumes of the fixed and movable plates. The structure of this module is shown in Fig. 11.Additional capability of this module consists of software tools for:& Applying a shrinkage that corresponds to design plastic part, geometry, and molding conditions, which are computed in module for numerical simulation& Make conceptual CAD model for nonstandard plates and mold components& Design impression, inserts, sand cores, sliders and other components that define a shape of molded part& Populate a mold assembly with standard components such as new developed mold base which consists of DME mold base and mold base of enterprises which use this system, and CAD modeling ejector pins, screws, and other components creating corresponding clearance holes& Create runners and waterlines, which dimensions was calculated in module for calculating of parameters of injection molding and mold design calculation and selection& Check interference of components during mold opening, and check the draft surfacesAfter applied dimensions and selection mold components, user loads 3D model of the fixed (core) and movable (cavity) plate. Geometry mold specifications, calculated in the previous module, are automatically integrated into this module, allowing it to generate the final mold assembly. Output from this module receives the complete mold model of the assembly as shown in Fig. 15. This module allowsFig. 11 Subassembly model of moldFig. 12 CAD model of the test Productmodeling of nonstandard and standard mold components that are not contained in the mold base.3 Case studyThe complete theoretical framework of the CAD/CAE-integrated injection mold design system for plastic products was presented in the previous sections. In order to complete this review, the system was entirely tested on a real case study. The system was tested on few examples of similar plastic parts. Based on the general structure of the model of integrated CAD/CAE design system shown in Fig. 1, the authors tested the system on some concrete examples. One of the examples used for verification of the test model of the plastic part is shown in Fig. 12.The module for the numerical simulation of injection molding process defines the optimal location for setting gating subsystem. Dark blue regions indicate the optimal position for setting gating subsystem as shown in Fig. 13.Based on dimensions, shape, material of the case study product (Fig. 11), optimal gating subsystem location (Fig. 13), and injection molding parameters (Table 1), the simulation model shown in Fig. 14 was generated.One of the rules for defining simulation model gate for numerical simulation:IF (tunnel, plastic material, mass) THEN prediction dimension (upper tunnel, length, diameter1, diameter2, radius, angle, etc.)Part of the output results from module II, which are used in module III are shown in Table 1.Fig. 13 Optimal gating subsystem location in the partTable 1 Part of the output results from the module for the numerical simulation of injection molding processMaterial grade and material supplier Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene 780(ABS 780),Kumho Chemicals Inc.Max injection pressure 100 MPaMold temperature 60°C ili 40Melt Temperature 230°CInjection Time 0,39 s 0,2 sInjection Pressure 27,93 MPaRecommended ejection temperature 79°CModulus of elasticity, flow direction for ABS 780 2,600 MPaModulus of elasticity, transverse direction for ABS 780 2,600 MPaPoision ratio in all directions for ABS 780 0.38Shear modulus for ABS 780 942 MPaDensity in liquid state 0.94032 g/cm3Density in solid state 1.047 g/cm3In module III, the system calculates clamping force F=27.9 kN (Fig. 3), cooling channel diameter d KT=6 mm, cooling channel length lKT090 mm (Fig. 4).

This paper presents a software solution for multiple cavity mold of identical molding parts, the so-called one product mold. The system is dedicated to design of normal types of molds for products whose length and width are substantially greater than product height, i.e., the system is customized for special requirements of mold manufacturers. The proposed system allows full control over CAD/CAE feature parameters which enables convenient and rapid mold modification. The described CAD/CAE modules are feature-based, parametric, based on solid models, and object oriented. The module for numerical simulation of injection molding allows the determination selection of injection molding parameters. The module for calculation of parameters of injection molding process and mold design calculation and selection improves design Fig. 15 Model of the mold assembly with tested simulation model faster, reduces mold design errors, and provides geometric and precision information necessary for complete mold design. The knowledge base of the system can be accessed by mold designers throughinteractive modules so that their own intelligence and experience can also be incorporated into thetotal mold design. Manufacture of the part confirms that the developed CAD/CAE system provides correct results and proves to be a confident software tool.Future research will be directed towards three main goals. The first is to develop a system for automation of family mold design. Another line of research is the integration with CAPP system for plastic injection molds manufacturing developed at the Faculty of Technical Sciences. Finally, following current trends in this area, a collaborative system using web technologies and blackboard architecture shall be designed and implemented.中文译文塑料制品的CAD / CAE集成的注塑模具设计系统摘要：模具设计是一个知识密集的过程。

关键词:侧壁起皱；拉深模；带有阶梯的方形盒；带有斜度的方形盒1 引言起皱是金属板料成形中常见的失效形式之一。
由于功能和视觉效果的原因，起皱通常是不能为零件制品所能接受的。
在金属板料成形加工中通常存在三种类型的起皱现象：法兰起皱；侧壁起皱和由于残余压应力在未变形区产生的弹性变形。
在冲压复杂形状的时候，拉深壁起皱就是在模具型腔中形成的褶皱。
由于金属板料在拉深壁区域内相对无支撑，因此，消除拉深壁起皱比抑制法兰起皱要难得多。
我们知道在不被支撑的拉深壁区域中材料的外力拉深可以防止起皱，这可以在实践中通过增加压边力而实现，但是运用过大的拉深力会引起破裂失效。
因此，压边力必须控制在一定的范围内，一方面可以抑制起皱，另一方面也可以防止破裂失效。
合适的压边力范围是很难确定的，因为起皱在拉深零件的中心区域以一个复杂的形状形成，甚至根本不存在一个合适的压边力范围。

Green Street, Urbana, IL61801, USAb Polymer Composites Group, Polymers Division, Building 224, Room B108, National Institute ofStandards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD20899, USAAccepted 14 June 1999───────────────────────────────────────AbstractThis paper presents a numerical simulation of injection/compression liquid composite molding, where the fiber preform is compressed to a desired degree after an initial charge of resin has been injected into the mold. Due to the possibility of an initial gap at the top of the preform and out-of-plane heterogeneity in the multi-layered fiber preform, a full three-dimensional (3D) flow simulation is essential. We propose an algorithm to generate a suitable 3D finite element mesh, starting from a two-dimensional shell mesh representing the geometry of the mold cavity. Since different layers of the preform have different compressibility, and since properties such as permeability are a strong function of the degree of compression, a simultaneous prediction of preform compression along with the resin flow is necessary for accurate mold filling simulation. The algorithm creates a coarser mechanical mesh to simulate compression of the preform, and a finer flow mesh to simulate the motion of the resin in the preform and gap. Lines connected to the top and bottom plates of the mold, called spines, are used as conduits for the nodes. A method to generate a surface parallel to a given surface, thereby maintaining the thickness of the intermediate space, is used to construct the layers of the preform in the mechanical mesh. The mechanical mesh is further subdivided along the spines to create the flow mesh. Examples of the three-dimensional meshes generated by the algorithm are presented. 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

IntroductionLiquid composite molding (LCM) is emerging as an important technology to make net-shape parts of polymer-matrix composites. In any LCM process, a preform of reinforcing fibers is placed in a closed mold, then a liquid polymer resin is injected into the mold to infiltrate the preform. When the mold is full, the polymer is cured by a crosslinking reaction to become a rigid solid. Then the mold is opened to remove the part. LCM processes offer a way to produce high-performance composite parts using a rapid process with low labor requirement.This paper deals with a particular type of LCM process called injection/compression liquid composite molding (I/C-LCM). In I/C-LCM, unlike other types of LCM processes, the mold is only partially closed when resin injection begins. This increases the cross-sectional area availablefor the resin flow, and decreases flow resistance by providing high porosity in the reinforcement. Often, the presence of a gap at the top of the preform further facilitates the flow. After all of the resin has been injected, the mold is slowly closed to its final height, causing additional resin flow and saturating all portions of the preform. The I/CLCM process fills the mold more rapidly, and at a lower pressure than the other LCM processes that use injection alone.Complete filling of the mold with adequate wetting of the fibers is the primary objective of any LCM mold designer; incomplete filling in the mold leads to production of defective parts with dry spots. There are many factors which affect the filling of the mold: permeability of the preform, presence of gaps in the mold to facilitate resin flow, arrangement of inlet and outlet gates, injection rates of resin from different inlet ports, etc. Often it is not possible for the mold designer to visualize and design an adequate system for resin infusion by intuition alone, and mold filling simulations are used to optimize mold performance. The situation in I/C-LCM is more complex than ordinary LCM because of compression of the mold during the filling operation. As a result, numerical simulation of the mold filling process in I/C-LCM becomes all the more important.I/C-LCM fiber preforms frequently comprise layers of different reinforcing materials such as biaxial woven fabrics, stitch-bonded uniaxial fibers, random fibers. Each type of material has a unique behavior as it is compressed in the mold. When such different materials are layered to form the preform, each of them will compress by different amounts as the mold is closed. This behavior is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows a small piece of a mold. Here the lighter center layer deforms much more than the darker outer layer as the mold is closed.(B) After compression (A) Before compressionFig. 1. Uneven deformation of preform layers under compression.Capturing this deformation behavior during compression is critical to the accuracy of any I/C-LCM process model. Resin flows through the preform at all stages of compression, and the porosity and permeability of the preform are critical in determining the resin flow. The ratio of deformed volume to initial volume determines the porosity of each preform layer, and from this one can determine the layer's permeability, either from a theoretical prediction or a correlation of experimental data. Because of this strong coupling between the state of compression in a preform layer and its permeability, computations for fluid flow and preform compression have to be done simultaneously for mold filling simulations in I/C-LCM.Significant steps have already been taken to computationally model the mold filling in the I/C-LCM process. A computer program called crimson, is capable of isothermal mold fillingsimulation which involves simultaneous fluid flow and preform compression computations in the flow domain. But the initial capacity of crimson is limited to two-dimensional (2D) planar geometries where prediction of preform compression is straightforward. Deformation of the preform is modeled using the incremental linearized theory of elasticity; the mathematics simplifies due to reduction in the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) associated with displacement from the usual three to one along the thickness direction. However parts made by the I/C-LCM process typically have complicated three-dimensional shapes and this reduction of the mathematical complexity is no longer possible. The present paper describes our effort to expand the capability of crimson by enabling it to tackle any arbitrary non-planar three dimensional (3D) mold geometry.Most injection molding simulation programs read for the mold geometry in the form of a shell mesh. Even if it were possible to transmit the full geometrical information about the mold through a 3D mesh, it still is difficult to incorporate all the information of relevance to the process engineer. The latter needs to know the thicknesses of various layers of fiber mats and their corresponding porosities at each time step. As a result, it is very important that elements representing different layers of preform in the 3D finite element mesh fall within separate layered regions. Overlap of an element onto more than one region is not acceptable as the element has to carry the material properties, such as porosity, permeability, of only one fiber mat. Mesh-generators in state-of-the-art commercial software such as PATRAN are not designed to generate such a 3D mesh. Consequently, we decided to create a preprocessor suitable for I/C-LCM mold filling simulation.The objectives of this paper are to introduce basic ideas about modeling mold filling in 3D I/C-LCM parts, and to introduce an algorithm to generate a 3D finite element mesh from a given 2D shell mesh for preform and flow computations. In subsequent papers, we will model finite deformation of preform using the non-linear theory of elasticity, and use this information to model resin flow in an I/C-LCM mold.2. Generating a 3D mesh from the given 2D shell meshOur aim is to develop a preprocessor that can generate 3D finite element meshes for flow computations starting from a 2D shell mesh. We wish to allow the I/C-LCM process engineer to include all relevant information such as thicknesses of the layers of the preform, thickness of the gap, into the mesh.A - open gap everywhere C - just touching / partly compressedD - fully compressed everywhere B - open gap / just touchingFig. 2. A schematic describing the various stages of the compression/injection molding process. The top plate of the mold moves along theclamping vector, while the bottom plate is stationary. Stages A–C arethree possible starting positions of the top plate. Stage D shows the finalconfiguration of the mold when it is fully compressed.Fig.2 describes the three possible starting mold configurations (A-C) for a typical angular part geometry. Case A represents the starting configuration for the open mold injection/compression (I/C) molding, with ample gap between the top plate and preform. Cases B and C occur when the gap is partly or completely eliminated before the start of the injection process. In the former, the preform is completely uncompressed with gaps at a few places. In the latter, the gap is removed at the cost of partial compression of the preform in certain regions. In the present paper, mesh generation for configuration A only will be addressed. Once this mesh is created, cases B and C can be generated by solving for the mechanical compression of the preform.As we shall see in the subsequent papers, six-noded wedge elements and eight-noded brick elements are adequate for modeling both the resin flow and preform compression. Our mesh generation algorithm is designed to generate such elements from the three- and four-noded triangular and quadrilateral elements of the shell mesh.2.1. Mechanical and flow meshesDevelopment of the 3D mesh for flow computations from a given 2D shell mesh, representing the part geometry, is divided into two stages. In the first stage, an intermediate mechanical mesh is created, where the number of layers of elements equals the number of fiber mats in the lay-up, with the thickness of the mats equal to the height of those elements. Such a coarse mesh is adequate to track deformation of the mats during compression of the mold. In the second stage, the mechanical mesh is further subdivided along the thickness direction to create a more refined mesh, called the flow mesh, which is used for flow calculations.3. Basic concepts of mesh generation algorithmWe first introduce two basic ideas that form the backbone of our mesh generation algorithm: spines and parallel surfaces.3.1. Use of spinesOne of the salient features of our mesh generation technique is the use of spines to track the nodes of the 3D mechanical mesh. This is similar to the use of spines in the free boundary problems where they have been used to adapt the computational mesh with time. These spines are lines connecting node points of the top mold surface to their counterparts of the bottom mold surface.4. AlgorithmThe main actions carried out in our mesh generation algorithm are as follows:1. Read data describing the 2D shell mesh. The mesh data is read, along with the information important for process modeling such as direction of clamping, properties of fiber mats, initial gap provided at the top of the preform.2. Construct the upper surface of the final part. The upper surface is generated parallel to the input 2D shell mesh which represents the bottom, immovable surface of the mold. The inputthicknesses between the given and upper surfaces are taken to be the final thickness of the I/C-LCM mold (equal to the desired part thickness).5. Examples and discussionA computer program has been developed to implement the mesh generation algorithm, and tested for its efficacy and robustness. In the following sections, examples of the creation of 3D computational meshes from 2D shell meshes are presented. Since the thicknesses in the I/C-LCM parts are much smaller than their other dimensions, realistic meshes are relatively thin. To highlight important features of the algorithm, the thicknesses of the meshes are scaled up in the following examples. In each example, a gap that is a certain fraction of the total thickness of the uncompressed preform is provided between the upper surface of the preform and the top mold plate.6. Summary and conclusionsIn this paper, we present a methodology to create 3D finite element meshes for modeling mold filling in I/CLCM. We propose the concept of predicting preform compression using the coarse mechanical mesh, and predicting fluid flow using the finer flow mesh. A mesh-generating algorithm, to create the mechanical and flow meshes from a given shell mesh, is presented. This algorithm incorporates information about the position of fiber mat interfaces in a multi-layered preform, which is crucial for accurate modeling of the filling process. A technique to create surfaces parallel to any arbitrary shell mesh surface enables us to represent the interfaces accurately. Further, the use of spines in mesh generation reduces the number of unknowns at each node from three to one. The algorithm is used successfully to create the mechanical and flow meshes from two different shell meshes; its robustness is demonstrated by creating a 3D mesh from a shell mesh for an arbitrary mold shape. The need to refine the shell mesh in the region of a step change in the thickness of the mold is the main limitation of the algorithm. In subsequent papers, we will use the mechanical and flow meshes to simulate preform compression and resin flow during mold filling in I/C-LCM.注射／压缩流体组合模塑的数值模拟第一部分网格生成K.M. Pillai a, C.L.

外文原文Abstract：Die designing is a demanding and hard work．To design a separate die for each product is time consuming and expensive task．This paper presents an idea of sets of standard reference dies．it gives a concept of flexible die designing using a reference standard die designed in a popular commercial CAD／CAM software—Pro／Engineer．Rather than designing a separate die for each part，just update the die design by selecting the die dimensions as required．The use of this concept will prove to reduce time and cost of product in manufacturing industry．Key words：die；flexible die designing system ；standardization；Pro/E；secondary developmentAt present, the industrial developed countries and regions in the mold industry has been gradually standardize and serialization. In China, although the majority die within the enterprises have business standards, but generally not high degree of standardization, standardization of stamping die in the die-limited parts of the parts. To achieve real savings stamping die design time and shorten the processing cycle, cost savings, reduce design and manufacturing staff workload purposes, it needs to develop a flexible stamping die design system. At the same time, stamping die serialization of the scope of standardization and can not be confined to die-part of the fixed panels, boards, the top plate unloading device commonly used components such as stamping or even die structure, we should achieve serialization and standardization.As CAD / CAM technology in the design and manufacture die in the course of extensive application, it should first be standardized stamping die from the CAD system began. Some large-scale commercialization of the CAD / CAM software, such as Pro / E, UG, and so on. Have developed a specialized injection mold design package. And stamping die design for the special software, users need to be developed.l The application tools Pro / E in stamping die design flexibility in the system developmentPro / Engineer by the United States has developed a set of PTC CAD / cAM / CAE software. Pro / E using a single database And feature-based, the design parameters of the model, provides users with 1 The development is very convenient for stamping die flexible system of tools juice1.1 Family TableFanaily Fable known as the Family Table, the structure used to create the same or similar parts of the size and characteristics of the standardized database tables, is devoted to the establishment of a standard parts library tool. The use of the formerfirst family table to create a generic representation of the components (the generic), according to the need to target and then added to the family table a series of management.Family sheet management can be the object of a size (dimension), features (feature), parameters (parameter) and assembly parts (component), and so on.A family table can have multiple levels, that is a generic parts can contain multiple sub-components (instance, also known as examples), and each Instance can contain their own Sub Instance. Discharge screw (stripper-bolt) the family table structure as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1 Family Table hierarchy1.2 RelationsRelations (relations) between mathematics and procedures, including grammar, and its main role is to be part or assembly of the relevance of the data by size symbols, and other parameters of grammar (syntax) to establish mathematical formula to meet the design requirements. Pro / E system of relations can be found in Sketch, Feature, Part and in the Assembly. Simple sentence, judgement and sentence is to establish relations of common format. Simple sentence that a simple mathematical relationship between the size of direct response associated situation. The use of simple format, such as d6 = L. BP 1 2 * d3. Judgement on the sentence for certain occasions, by specifying conditions to express design intent, grammar structure: "IF… ENDIF" or "IF… ELSE… ENDIF" in the "ELSE… ENDIF" between conditional statements can be multi-nested. Relations in the standardization and flexible stamping die design system in the building process plays a very important role, it has decided to parts of the geometric shape and characteristics of relations between the digital Xiao, partsrelations between the assembly and parts assembly in the presence of middle - A number of features.1.3 Pro／ProgramPro / Program (program) is the Pro / E of a procedural tool, similar to its grammar VBA and Office software in the Macro (Acer). When users use of Pro / engineer to design .The product of various kinds of information to document the format will be recorded. Through the Pro / Progran document editing, can be achieved on the characteristics of the hide, delete and re-order the assembly of components to add and replacement operation. These features stamping dies for the establishment of standard parts library, standards and flexible design structure of the system is very useful.Program files in the structure can be broadly classified into the title, set of parameters relationship, to add features (parts) and updating the quality attributes, such as five parts. In "INPUT… END INPUT" Xiao located between the parameters of the "RE1 ATIONS… ENDREALATIONS" relations between the various add in the "ADD… END ADD" and added features (part module) or parts (assembly module). Pro / Program provides three types of parameters: NUMBER (numerical) STRING (string) and YES-NO (it).2. Standards moldbase of the development2.1 Standards moldbase Classification and organizationsDie-stamping die is an important part. The typical model-there are three types: rear-guided-mode (back pillar sets), the middle-guided-mode (center pillar sets) and the guided-mode-angle (diagonal pillarsets). Each type of die-also includes a variety of specifications. According to Die boundary demarcation size, rear-guided, in a L ×B-22 specifications, D0 specifications 6 (L = B), middle-guided, in the nine-D0 specifications, the guided-mode-Kok L × B specifications 7 [2-3].In order to facilitate the management and data calls, the standard mode of the directory of the best-established in the Pro / E installation directory. As three categories-the larger structural differences, it may die-the root of the establishment of three other subdirectories, each subdirectory contains all the component parts-mode, and each type of parts can be adopted Pro / E Software for the family table, and toolssuch as the establishment of standard procedures for the database.2.2 Standards moldbase library buildingDie-stamping die from the main mode on the Block (upper.shoe), nder-Block (1 ower.shoe), I. column (guide.pillar) and I. Case (guidebushing), and other components. In order to make structural integrity of mold, can also die stalk (shank) assembly to die-in. Here are rear-die I.Establishment of the standard method.First of all the various components to create three-dimensional model, and then the standard manual data in the table a series of symbolic dimension added to the group on January 1 Editor (can also use Excel for editing). Add in the size of symbols, Size will be the best symbol to revise the manual and the size of the same symbol. Because people can not distinguish between Table Capitalization is, when both the same size letters, proposed to use capital letters to distinguish between pairs of characters, such as that for the d D, and D that will become a DD.Standard on two-Block: When the L ×B> 200 mm ×160 mn-i have installed Boss, and when L × B is less than or equal to the scope of non-installation of Boss, shown in Figure 2. Determine whether Boss in two ways: one way is to use Family Table, will generate the Boss Extrude Offset two characteristics and the way to Feature added to the family table, and in these two characteristics of the list Enter in the "Y" or "N", to determine the specifications of a certain mode on the Block, whether these two features; Another method is to find these two features in the Pro / Program in the location and characteristics of the process to add Extrude His statement before the judge "IF L> 200 1 B> 160", adding the Offset characteristics of the procedures used "END IF" the end of judgement.Figure2. die on the ground in two types2.3 The establishment of Standards moldbase forIn Pro / Assembly in the same module can be generated by the use of family die-standard database. Family structure in the assembly, when selected COrnponent, select the mode of all the parts-and enter a different group in the table-model specifications required by the standards of sub-components of the name, as shown in Figure 3.Figure 3 rear-guided, in the standard mode of Family TableCommon mode handles four types: pressure-in-stalk, the flange-stalk, Screw-mode and floating stems die stalk. If the four types of module assembly to handle all the common-mode model (Figure 3 in the assembly only two kinds), in the group table by the need to enter the module handles parts of the name, set the parameters of INPUT, with Regenerate Called when the parameters of renewable order to choose the mode of different types of handles. Of course, people can also die of the table do not have to handle characters with "N" to curb, as shown in Figure 3-mode system is used in this method.3 The development of standard stamping die3.1 The typical combination of stamping dieStamping die in the larger structural differences and establish flexible stamping die design systems using the best combination of the typical mold. Use of combinations to determine the structure of the typical mold of the structure, and thus determine the composition of the various components die sizes and assembly relations. Commonly used combination of stamping die typical structure: a fixed combinationof unloading, Tanya unloading combinations, composite model portfolio, such as plate-portfolio. Mold can not be separated from the structure of ISO standardization of parts, in the Pro / Engineer Dies in the standardization of parts can be used in the design of the bottom-up approach can also be used top-down design.3.2 die in the process of assembling data transferBecause of complicated, so stamping die by the standardization of the factors to consider-Modulus than standardized by many more factors to consider, one of the most important factor is the size of the correlation between the components. In the mold of a standard combination, assembly and components, parts and components between the need for data transmission, and in the Pro / Assembly can be very easy to achieve this objective.3.2.1 by the assembly of components to the data transferPro / Program can use the assembly EXECUTE statement will be down the parameters in a sub-assembly or parts delivery, the use of syntax is as follows: EXECUTE PART / ASSEMBLY file name components or sub-assembly of the parameters in the assembly of = END EXECUTE EXECUTE statement parameters can not leapfrog data transmission, not by the assembly to sub-assembly of components in the direct transmission of data.3.2.2 data transfer between the componentsWhen added to the assembly of components are in a Id, it can complete the assembly of components between the data transfer. Id assembly of components, can be used in the menu RELATIONs Session Id command to query. Figure 4 is the combination of Tanya discharge standards in the spring of unloading assembly diagram. As assembly to die in the spring have a pre-compression and thus the length of its assembly (Hs) are no longer equal to the length of freedom (H.). In determining H, you can use the following mathematical relationship:Hs:38= L:32一tbp:0In this way can always guarantee equal to the length of spring assembly from the surface to Dianban discharge board under the surface height, thus eliminating the relevant parts were replaced after the size of Laws. In the design of this mold is very practical, because the mold assembly in a similar situation there are many. Again, in determining the discharge screw on the seat-hole diameter (dI34), they can use thefollowing mathematical relationship：d134:8=D:32+2This Id, established by the mathematical relationship between the need to use Regenerate order to take effect, so different parts on the size of the location of as little as possible in this way, so as not to die in the initial call model will appear at the wrong result will be displayed. But if the parts in between and parameters to transfer data, the location of the various components of size parameters to create a mathematical relationship, the trouble can be avoided.3.2.3 standard replacement partsFamily Table used to establish the standard parts can lookup. inst Replacement statement. Lookup inst allows users to find the standard parts that match the sub-components, if not find the results, then return to a generic [4 J.Lookup．inst ：lookup inst(generic—name，match-mode，paramnamel，match—valuel，param-name2，match—value2…)One match. preferred mode of three, representing different meanings: one is to find parameters of less than or equal to find the value of components; parameter values 0 to find an exact match to find value of the sub-components; to find parameters of greater than or equal to find value The sub-components.3.3 structure of the assemblyDie parts to complete the establishment and rationalize the assembly relations between the components, you can generate mold assembly model. Figure 5 for the development of the author Tanya unloading combination of specifications for the 200 mm × 160 mm of die structure (omit all the characteristics of thread).3.4 stamping die callStamping die in the Pro / Assembly call directly, but also can be used Pro / TOOLKIT development of visual user interface to call. Pro / TOOLKIT Pro Ecuador is the second development system software package, its main purpose is to allowusers or third parties through the expansion of C code Pro / E function, based on the development of Pro / E system of application modules to meet user Special needs. Pro/T00LKIT use of the UI dialog, the menu VC + + and Visual Interface technology, designed to facilitate flexible and practical stamping die design system for interactive interface. Use interface called the structure of various stamping dies, the choice of different specifications of the parts, enter a different parameters to determine sheet parameters as well as their positioning in the mold, and further in the system design punch, die and other structures, Thus greatly enhance the efficiency of stamping die design.4 ConclusionSince stamping process a wide range of complex processes, and the shape of various parts die, stamping dies in achieving standardization and development of flexible design system and the process is very complicated, but flexible stamping die design system of stamping die CAD is to improve the level of the cornerstones . Pro / E powerful components, the assembly of the criteria for the establishment of the functions of stamping dies for the standardization and flexible design of the feasibility of developing systems to provide a strong guarantee. In the development of flexible design system, should ingenious application of Pro / E software provided by an effective tool, considering the different types of standard structural composition of the assembly relations. Between the parts and components meet requirements of size structure changes, and the best use RELATIONS Pro / Program prepared by the mathematical relations systems and procedures to increase the flexibility and practicality. Die flexible design and application development system to avoid a mold designers unnecessary duplication of labor, so that the programme will focus on the concept, process optimization, and other creative work, thus mold the rapid design and production standards have a practical application Significance.外文资料翻译译文摘要：模具设计是一个苛刻的辛勤工作。

外文资料翻译及原文【原文一】CONCURRENT DESIGN OF PLASTICS INJECTION MOULDS AbstractThe plastic product manufacturing industry has been growing rapidly in recent years. One of the most popular processes for making plastic parts is injection moulding. The design of injection mould is critically important to product quality and efficient product processing.Mould-making companies, who wish to maintain the competitive edge, desire to shorten both design and manufacturing leading times of the by applying a systematic mould design process. The mould industry is an important support industry during the product development process, serving as an important link between the product designer and manufacturer. Product development has changed from the traditional serial process of design, followed by manufacture, to a more organized concurrent process where design and manufacture are considered at a very early stage of design. The concept of concurrent engineering (CE) is no longer new and yet it is still applicable an d relevant in today’s manuf acturing environment. Team working spirit, management involvement, total design process and integration of IT tools are still the essence of CE. The application of The CE process to the design of an injection process involves the simultaneous consideration of plastic part design, mould design and injection moulding machineselection, production scheduling and cost as early as possible in the design stage.This paper presents the basic structure of an injection mould design. The basis of this system arises from an analysis of the injection mould design process for mould design companies. This injection mould design system covers both the mould design process and mould knowledge management. Finally the principle of concurrent engineering process is outlined and then its principle is applied to the design of a plastic injection mould.Keywords :Plastic injection mould design, Concurrent engineering, Computer aided engineering, Moulding conditions, Plastic injection moulding, Flow simulation1.IntroductionInjection moulds are always expensive to make, unfortunately without a mould it can not be possible ho have a moulded product. Every mould maker has his/her own approach to design a mould and there are many different ways of designing and building a mould. Surely one of the most critical parameters to be considered in the design stage of the mould is the number of cavities, methods of injection, types of runners, methods of gating, methods of ejection, capacity and features of the injection moulding machines. Mould cost, mould quality and cost of mould product are inseparableIn today’s completive environment, computer aided mould filling simulation packages can accurately predict the fill patterns of any part. This allows for quick simulations of gate placements and helps finding the optimal location. Engineers can perform moulding trials on the computer before the part design is completed. Process engineers can systematically predict a design and process window, and can obtain information about the cumulative effect of the process variables that influence part performance, cost, and appearance.2.Injection MouldingInjection moulding is one of the most effective ways to bring out the best in plastics. It is universally used to make complex, finished parts, often in a single step, economically, precisely and with little waste. Mass production of plastic parts mostly utilizes moulds. Themanufacturing process and involving moulds must be designed after passing through the appearance evaluation and the structure optimization of the product design. Designers face a huge number of options when they create injection-moulded components. Concurrent engineering requires an engineer to consider the manufacturing process of the designed product in the development phase. A good design of the product is unable to go to the market if its manufacturing process is impossible or too expensive. Integration of process simulation, rapid prototyping and manufacturing can reduce the risk associated with moving from CAD to CAM and further enhance the validity of the product development.3. Importance of Computer Aided Injection Mould DesignThe injection moulding design task can be highly complex. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis tools provide enormous advantages of enabling design engineers to consider virtually and part, mould and injection parameters without the real use of any manufacturing and time. The possibility of trying alternative designs or concepts on the computer screen gives the engineers the opportunity to eliminate potential problems before beginning the real production. Moreover, in virtual environment, designers can quickly and easily asses the sensitivity of specific moulding parameters on the quality and manufacturability of the final product. All theseCAE tools enable all these analysis to be completed in a meter of days or even hours, rather than weeks or months needed for the real experimental trial and error cycles. As CAE is used in the early design of part, mould and moulding parameters, the cost savings are substantial not only because of best functioning part and time savings but also the shortens the time needed to launch the product to the market.The need to meet set tolerances of plastic part ties in to all aspects of the moulding process, including part size and shape, resin chemical structure, the fillers used, mould cavity layout, gating, mould cooling and the release mechanisms used. Given this complexity, designers often use computer design tools, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and mould filling analysis (MFA), to reduce development time and cost. FEA determines strain, stress and deflection in a part by dividing the structure into small elements where these parameters can be well defined. MFA evaluates gate position and size to optimize resin flow. It also defines placement of weld lines, areas of excessive stress, and how wall and rib thickness affect flow. Other finite element designtools include mould cooling analysis for temperature distribution, and cycle time and shrinkage analysis for dimensional control and prediction of frozen stress and warpage.The CAE analysis of compression moulded parts is shown in Figure 1. The analysis cycle starts with the creation of a CAD model and a finite element mesh of the mould cavity. After the injection conditions are specified, mould filling, fiber orientation, curing and thermal history, shrinkage and warpage can be simulated. The material properties calculated by the simulation can be used to model the structural behaviour of the part. If required, part design, gate location and processing conditions can be modified in the computer until an acceptable part is obtained. After the analysis is finished an optimized part can be produced with reduced weldline (known also knitline), optimized strength, controlled temperatures and curing, minimized shrinkage and warpage.Machining of the moulds was formerly done manually, with a toolmaker checking each cut. This process became more automated with the growth and widespread use of computer numerically controlled or CNC machining centres. Setup time has also been significantly reduced through the use of special software capable of generating cutter paths directly from a CAD data file. Spindle speeds as high as 100,000 rpm provide further advances in high speed machining. Cutting materials have demonstrated phenomenal performance without the use of any cutting/coolant fluid whatsoever. As a result, the process of machining complex cores and cavities has been accelerated. It is good news that the time it takes to generate a mould is constantly being reduced. The bad news, on the other hand, is that even with all these advances, designing and manufacturing of the mould can still take a long time and can be extremely expensive.Figure 1 CAE analysis of injection moulded partsMany company executives now realize how vital it is to deploy new products to market rapidly. New products are the key to corporate prosperity. They drive corporate revenues, market shares, bottom lines and share prices. A company able to launch good quality products with reasonable prices ahead of their competition not only realizes 100% of the market before rival products arrive but also tends to maintain a dominant position for a few years even after competitive products have finally been announced (Smith, 1991). For most products, these two advantages are dramatic. Rapid product development is now a key aspect of competitive success. Figure 2 shows that only 3–7% of the product mix from the average industrial or electronics company is less than 5 years old. For companies in the top quartile, the number increases to 15–25%. For world-class firms, it is 60–80% (Thompson, 1996). The best companies continuously develop new products. At Hewlett-Packard, over 80% of the profits result from products less than 2 years old! (Neel, 1997)Figure 2. Importance of new product (Jacobs, 2000)With the advances in computer technology and artificial intelligence, efforts have been directed to reduce the cost and lead time in the design and manufacture of an injection mould. Injection mould design has been the main area of interest since it is a complex process involving several sub-designs related to various components of the mould, each requiring expert knowledge and experience. Lee et. al. (1997) proposed a systematic methodology and knowledge base for injection mould design in a concurrent engineering environment.4.Concurrent Engineering in Mould DesignConcurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to integrated product development process. It represents team values of co-operation, trust and sharing in such a manner that decision making is by consensus, involving all per spectives in parallel, from the very beginning of the productlife-cycle (Evans, 1998). Essentially, CE provides a collaborative, co-operative, collective and simultaneous engineering working environment. A concurrent engineering approach is based on five key elements:1. process2. multidisciplinary team3. integrated design model4. facility5. software infrastructureFigure 3 Methodologies in plastic injection mould design, a) Serial engineering b) Concurrent engineeringIn the plastics and mould industry, CE is very important due to the high cost tooling and long lead times. Typically, CE is utilized by manufacturing prototype tooling early in the design phase to analyze and adjust the design. Production tooling is manufactured as the final step. The manufacturing process and involving moulds must be designed after passing through the appearance evaluation and the structure optimization of the product design. CE requires an engineer to consider the manufacturing process of the designed product in the development phase.A good design of the product is unable to go to the market if its manufacturing process is impossible. Integration of process simulation and rapid prototyping and manufacturing can reduce the risk associated with moving from CAD to CAM and further enhance the validity of the product development.For years, designers have been restricted in what they can produce as they generally have todesign for manufacture (DFM) – that is, adjust their design intent to enable the component (or assembly) to be manufactured using a particular process or processes. In addition, if a mould is used to produce an item, there are therefore automatically inherent restrictions to the design imposed at the very beginning. Taking injection moulding as an example, in order to process a component successfully, at a minimum, the following design elements need to be taken into account:1. . geometry;. draft angles,.

When utilising rapid modelling, the CAD takes the longer time and therefore becomes the bottleneck.The process design and injection moulding of plastics involves rather complicated and time consuming activities including part design, mould design, injection moulding machine selection, production scheduling, tooling and cost estimation. Traditionally all these activities are done by part designers and mould making personnel in a sequential manner after completing injection moulded plastic part design. Obviously these sequential stages could lead to long product development time. However with the implementation of concurrent engineering process in the all parameters effecting product design, mould design, machine selection, production scheduling,tooling and processing cost are considered as early as possible in the design of the plastic part. When used effectively, CAE methods provide enormous cost and time savings for the part design and manufacturing. These tools allow engineers to virtually test how the part will be processed and how it performs during its normal operating life. The material supplier, designer, moulder and manufacturer should apply these tools concurrently early in the design stage of the plastic parts in order to exploit the cost benefit of CAE. CAE makes it possible to replace traditional, sequential decision-making procedures with a concurrent design process, in which all parties can interact and share information, Figure 3. For plastic injection moulding, CAE and related design data provide an integrated environment that facilitates concurrent engineering for the design and manufacture of the part and mould, as well as material selection and simulation of optimal process control parameters.Qualitative expense comparison associated with the part design changes is shown in Figure 4 , showing the fact that when design changes are done at an early stages on the computer screen, the cost associated with is an order of 10.000 times lower than that if the part is in production. These modifications in plastic parts could arise fr om mould modifications, such as gate location, thickness changes, production delays, quality costs, machine setup times, or design change in plastic parts.Figure 4 Cost of design changes during part product development cycle (Rios et.al, 2001)At the early design stage, part designers and moulders have to finalise part design based on their experiences with similar parts. However as the parts become more complex, it gets rather difficult to predict processing and part performance without the use of CAE tools. Thus for even relatively complex parts, the use of CAE tools to prevent the late and expensive design changesand problems that can arise during and after injection. For the successful implementation of concurrent engineering, there must be buy-in from everyone involved.5.Case StudyFigure 5 shows the initial CAD design of plastics part used for the sprinkler irrigation hydrant leg. One of the essential features of the part is that the part has to remain flat after injection; any warping during the injection causes operating problems.Another important feature the plastic part has to have is a high bending stiffness. A number of feeders in different orientation were added to the part as shown in Figure 5b. These feeders should be designed in a way that it has to contribute the weight of the part as minimum as possible.Before the design of the mould, the flow analysis of the plastic part was carried out with Moldflow software to enable the selection of the best gate location Figure 6a. The figure indicates that the best point for the gate location is the middle feeder at the centre of the part. As the distortion and warpage of the part after injection was vital from the functionality point of view and it has to be kept at a minimum level, the same software was also utilised to yiled the warpage analysis. Figure 5 b shows the results implying the fact that the warpage well after injection remains within the predefined dimensional tolerances.6. ConclusionsIn the plastic injection moulding, the CAD model of the plastic part obtained from commercial 3D programs could be used for the part performance and injection process analyses. With the aid ofCEA technology and the use of concurrent engineering methodology, not only the injection mould can be designed and manufactured in a very short of period of time with a minimised cost but also all potential problems which may arise from part design, mould design and processing parameters could be eliminated at the very beginning of the mould design. These two tools help part designers and mould makers to develop a good product with a better delivery and faster tooling with less time and money.References1.

Injection MoldingThe basic concept of injection molding revolves around the ability of a thermoplastic material to be softened by heat and to harden when cooled .In most operations ,granular material (the plastic resin) is fed into one end of the cylinder (usually through a feeding device known as a hopper ),heated, and softened(plasticized or plasticized),forced out the other end of the cylinder, while it is still in the form of a melt, through a nozzle into a relatively cool mold held closed under pressure.Here,the melt cools and hardens until fully set-up. The mold is then opened, the piece ejected, and the sequence repeated.Thus, the significant elements of an injection molding machine become: 1) the way in which the melt is plasticized (softened) and forced into the mold (called the injection unit);2) the system for opening the mold and closing it under pressure (called the clamping unit);3) the type of mold used;4) the machine controls.The part of an injection-molding machine, which converts a plastic material from a sold phase to homogeneous seni-liguid phase by raising its temperature .This unit maintains the material at a present temperature and force it through the injection unit nozzle into a mold .The plunger is a combination of the injection and plasticizing device in which a heating chamber is mounted between the plunger and mold. This chamber heats the plastic material by conduction .The plunger, on each stroke; pushes unbelted plastic material into the chamber, which in turn forces plastic melt at the front of the chamber out through the nozzleThe part of an injection molding machine in which the mold is mounted, and which provides the motion and force to open and close the mold and to hold the mold close with force during injection .This unit can also provide other features necessary for the effective functioning of the molding operation .Movingplate is the member of the clamping unit, which is moved toward a stationary member. the moving section of the mold is bolted to this moving plate .This member usually includes the ejector holes and mold mounting pattern of blot holes or “T” slots .Stationary plate is the fixed member of the clamping unit on which the stationary section of the mold is bolted .This member usually includes a mold-mounting pattern of boles or “T” slots. Tie rods are member of the clamping force actuating mechanism that serve as the tension member of the clamp when it is holding the mold closed. They also serve as a gutted member for the movable plate .Ejector is a provision in the clamping unit that actuates a mechanism within the mold to eject the molded part(s) from the mold .The ejection actuating force may be applied hydraulically or pneumatically by a cylinder(s) attached to the moving plate, or mechanically by the opening stroke of the moving plate.Methods of melting and injecting the plastic differ from one machine to another and are constantly being implored .conventional machines use a cylinder and piston to do both jobs .This method simplifies machine construction but makes control of injection temperatures and pressures an inherently difficult problem .Other machines use a plasticizing extruder to melt the plastic and piston to inject it while some hare been designed to use a screw for both jobs :Nowadays, sixty percent of the machines use a reciprocating screw,35% a plunger (concentrated in the smaller machine size),and 5%a screw pot.Many of the problems connected with in ejection molding arise because the densities of polymers change so markedly with temperature and pressure. thigh temperatures, the density of a polymer is considerably cower than at room temperature, provided the pressure is the same.Therefore,if molds were filled at atmospheric pressure, “shrinkage” would make the molding deviate form the shape of the mold.To compensate for this poor effect, molds are filled at high pressure. The pressure compresses the polymer and allows more materials to flow into the mold, shrinkage is reduced and better quality moldings are produced.Cludes a mold-mounting pattern of bolt holes or “T” slots. Tie rods are members of the clamping force actuating mechanism that serve as the tension members of clamp when it is holding the mold closed. Ejector is a provision in the calming unit that actuates a mechanism within the mold to eject the molded part(s) form the mold. The ejection actuating force may be applied hydraulically or pneumatically by a cylinder(s) attached to the moving plate, or mechanically by the opening stroke of the moving plate.The function of a mold is twofold: imparting the desired shape to the plasticized polymer and cooling the injection molded part. It is basically made up of two sets of components: the cavities and cores and the base in which the cavities and cores are mounted. The mold ,which contains one or more cavities, consists of two basic parts :(1) a stationary molds half one the side where the plastic is injected,(2)Moving half on the closing or ejector side of the machine. The separation between the two mold halves is called the parting line. In some cases the cavity is partly in the stationary and partly in the moving section. The size and weight of the molded parts limit the number of cavities in the mold and also determine the machinery capacity required. The mold components and their functions are as following:(1)Mold Base-Hold cavity (cavities) in fixed, correctposition relative to machine nozzle.(2)Guide Pins-Maintain Proper alignment of entry into moldinterior.(3)Spree Bushing (spree)-Provide means of entry into moldinterior.(4)Runners-Conroy molten plastic from spree to cavities.(5)Gates-Control flow into cavities.(6)Cavity (female) and Force (male)-Control the size,shape and surface of mold article.(7)Water Channels-Control the temperature of mold surfacesto chill plastic to rigid state.(8)Side (actuated by came, gears or hydrauliccylinders)-Form side holes, slots, undercuts and threaded sections.(9)Vent-Allow the escape of trapped air and gas.(10)Ejector Mechanism (pins, blades, stripper plate)-Ejectrigid molded article form cavity or force.(11)Ejector Return Pins-Return ejector pins to retractedposition as mold closes for next cycle.The distance between the outer cavities and the primary spree must not be so long that the molten plastic loses too much heat in the runner to fill the outer cavities properly. The cavities should be so arranged around the primary spree that each receives its full and equal share of the total pressure available, through its own runner system (or the so-called balanced runner system).The requires the shortest possible distance between cavities and primary sprue, equal runner and gate dimension, and uniform culling.注射成型注射成型的基本概念是使热塑性材料在受热时熔融，冷却时硬化，在大部分加工中，粒状材料（即塑料树脂）从料筒的一端（通常通过一个叫做“料斗”的进料装置）送进，受热并熔融（即塑化或增塑），然后当材料还是溶体时，通过一个喷嘴从料筒的另一端挤到一个相对较冷的压和封闭的模子里。
