Notes:
The advent of CAE (computer-aided engineering) technology for injection molding and related processes is having a rapidly growing impact on the molding industry. Proper use of this technology has enhanced engineers' capability in handling all aspects of the molding process and has been proven to benefit both productivity and product quality. However, while CAE can serve as a powerful tool to help engineers make rational engineering decisions, it is by no means a panacea for solving all molding problems. The viability of CAE packages depends heavily not only on the scientific principles and numerical methods used for developing the software, but also on the reliability of the input data such as material properties and process conditions. This article discusses the state-of-the-art of the technology with an emphasis on simulations of latest innovations in injection molding. A three-layer approach that systematically integrates and efficiently utilizes various CAE tools to solve design problems at different levels of sophistication is also presented. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
