| New software for the analysis of glass forming ANSYS announced the release of PolyFlow 3.11 software for the analysis of polymer processing and glass forming. For thermoforming and blow molding applications, PolyFlow 3.11 offers a thermo-mechanical stress capability to calculate deformations during cooling. Key enhancements to the 3-D adaptive meshing technique make the simulation of glass pressing and blowing fast and robust. PolyFlow 3.11 software offers two new options. First, it creates a 3-D geometry out of the deformed shell and the calculated thickness that then can be used for advanced shrinkage and warpage simulation with structural codes. Second, it allows the user to conduct some simple thermo-mechanical stress and deformation analyses directly in PolyFlow to obtain a qualitatively good estimation of these quantities. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
