47 Summary 1 Complex material data required for simulation Melt Flow Rate (MFR) as reference value for viscosity? Good orientation for limitation of potential similar materials Important: compare viscosity curves! Example: pressure difference of 25% at same MFR Pressure dependence of viscosity Viscosity increases with increasing pressure Especially important for thin walled parts Relevant at expected injection pressures > 1000 bar Example: pressure difference of 85% Thomas Lucyshyn 47

48 Transition temperature Summary 2 Determined with DSC measurement Cooling rate has influence on transition temperature Transition temperature has influence on warpage results Temperature dependent thermal data Significant differences between single point data and temperature dependent data Especially cycle time differs by up to 15% pvt-data Cooling rate has influence on pvt-curves Improved shrinkage simulation with pvt-data obtained at process near cooling rates Thomas Lucyshyn 48
