Compression Molding Software

PASSAGE®/Compression Software
· PASSAGE®/COMPRESSION Software is a finite element program for the mold filling simulation of complex three-dimensional, thin-walled parts.
· Flow models include: Barone-Caulk hydrodynamic friction and generalized Newtonian fluid to simulate the non-isothermal filling of SMC, BMC, and glass; fiber orientation for SMC and curing kinetics for thermosets.

· A high-pressure in-mold coating simulation option is also available.

· A user-friendly preprocessor allows mesh generation and capability to accept externally generated
meshes with interactive entry of process conditions and numerical control parameters.

· Results are viewed with an interactive post-processor that features dynamic rotation and zooming animation of results, and viewing options for color contour and vector plots.
