Abstract

This paper presents the CAD/CAE Method for optimizing runners diameter of multi-cavity molds with unbalanced runners layout. In the proposed method, the Modified Stevence Formula is utilized for preliminary runners diameter determination; the funtion Runner Balance of Moldflow software package is utilized for runners balance calculation; and proposed Flow Analysis Variables are utilized for gates and runners evaluation. Also, the results of implementing the CAD/CAE method for the injection mold of screwed sockets are presented.
