Description
Summary:This thesis paper present about proposed simulation of flaw analysis (Moldflow) of plastic part that has produce by injection moulding method. The part, Cable tie selected from we idea to study of relationship material, locating gate and type of mould can be used in this project. This project intends to review the major problems encountered on the existing product and propose possible solution to make the product more viable and competitive. The investigation scope will also include material selection, as it has been identified as one of major problems uncounted on the existing product. Beside that, in this study a simulation of flow analysis (Moldflow) has been utilised to investigate filling image, temperature reaction, weld lines and air trap phenomena in cooperating the new mould design. In simulation of flow analysis (Moldflow) we also study on best selected locating gate. From the result we can do analysis and compared with the other results use different locating gate.
