The
Practice of designing plastic products using computer-based finite
element flow analysis software has become increasingly
sophisticated since its conception in the late 1970’s. In order
to produce accurate predictions it is essential to use the appropriate
material properties data. Different materials, even of the same generic
type, can behave in substantially different ways during processing. Modern
software packages have material database systems that contain the necessary
characteristics on many hundreds of thermoplastic, elastomeric & thermosetting
materials, although they cannot cover every material a user is liable
to consider.
Gammadot has nearly 30 years experience characterising both standard &
novel grades of materials for flow simulation trials. We offer a portfolio
of testing services aimed at providing accurate materials data for a wide
variety of finite element flow simulation software packages including
Moldflow & Sigmasoft
3D. In September 2009 Gammadot
Rheology was awarded ‘Characterisation
Partner’
status for the provision of materials characterisation data for Moldex3D
– the flagship true 3D flow simulation software package developed
by CoreTech
System Co., Ltd (Taiwan). |
