Thermoforming analysis is a complicated, but very beneficial analysis to perform. Knowing your results before first prototypes is key to a successful product launch. Can I properly form this part and at what stress levels? Will I have any wrinkles in the part? What will be my final thickness in this or that corner? How many tools must I use to form the part? What is the proper material to use for this application? These questions and many others are answered with this type of simulation.
Using the advanced post process of Accuform's T-SIM, Shadow analysts will identify areas of acceptable process, as well as, areas of concern. Results obtainable from this type of analysis are: Thickness, Temperature, Von Mises Stress, Critical Venting Areas, Extension in X, Extension in Y, in addition to, L1/L2 data. Results can be reviewed not only as a complete part basis, but also on an individual element or region of elements basis. This feature is very useful for detailed investigation of potential trouble spots. Call us at (281) 789 - 7520 or e-mail us at Info@shadowpolymer.com to see what we can do for you.
