direction; lower strength and stiffness perpendicular fiber oriented direction

> Residual stress– Flow induced residual stress: As the polymer is sheared and

elongated, if solidification occurs before the polymer molecules are fully relaxed, molecular orientation is locked within the molded part

– Thermal stress: Because of non-uniform cooling, stress between molecule can not be released completely

What is ACT?

> The Application Customization Toolkit is a full-featured scripting interface to customize Applications in Workbench– In ANSYS R14, ACT allows customization in the Mechanical

application (Beta)

• Define customized boundary conditions and post-processing

• Replace command snippets with interactive objects

• Do much more than what the standard features in Mechanical offer

– Access node/element information, material, solution, results data……

• Even replace the APDL solver with your customer solver

> ACT provides an option to migrate APDL users to Mechanical– Allow reusing legacy APDL developments in user-friendly way

– Gets the best of the two worlds

39

> Moldex3D extension toolbar and Moldex3D button arenow part of ANSYS Mechanical user interface– Moldex3D function is

available from the drop-downmenu to set analysis properties

– When solution done, users can open the post to view theresult
