Fundamentals of CAE 

This article will introduce the fundamentals of CAE and explain how CAE analysis supports product design through injection molding analysis and structural analysis.

Fatigue and Creep

Part 11:  Fatigue and Creep

In designing resin parts, durability and reliability can be improved by properly evaluating fatigue and creep properties and reflecting them in analysis. In this part, we will explain the fatigue and creep properties of plastics and how to analyze them.

Structural analysis

Part10: Types of structural analysis and required material data

In Parts 10 to 12, we will introduce structural analysis (stress analysis) to verify whether a structure is designed to have sufficient strength and durability. In this issue, we will explain in detail the types of structural analysis, the required data, and points to note.

Part 9: Orientation in fiber-reinforced plastic

Injection molding analysis can predict the orientation of fiber reinforcement (fibrous filler) in injection molding. This article explains what fiber reinforcement orientation is in injection molding and the importance of understanding the orientation.

Part 7: Predicting molding defects using injection molding analysis

Injection molding analysis is a valuable tool for predicting molding defects at the design stage and taking countermeasures in advance. In this part, we will introduce various types of molding defects and analysis evaluation items that can be utilized for proactive countermeasures.

Part 4: What is injection molding?

From the 4th to the 9th, we will sequentially introduce the injection molding simulation from the material data to be used to the specific application contents such as molding defect countermeasures. In this article, we will focus on injection molding.
