Flow Simulation Center

Optimize your mold performance with better part designs.

Detailed part analysis early in a product’s lifecycle can help

save time and money. By predicting filling behaviour and

improving part design up front, a product’s release to market

can be more successful.

Husky’s Flow Simulation Center (FSC) offers a complete

solutions approach to improving part productivity. Flow

simulation examines polymer flow behavior when injected

into the cavity (fill, pack, cool analysis) and once ejected

(warpage analysis).

Through its dedicated team of specialists located in

Luxembourg, Europe and Vermont, U.S.A., the FSC is able to

review, analyze, predict and support Husky’s customers in

their daily injection molding challenges.

The Flow Simulation Center focuses on all key aspects of the

injection molding process including:

Part design

• Determining the number of gates, gate location and size,

weld line location, fiber orientation and pressure levels

• Avoiding short shots and hesitation effects

Injection molding

• Defining optimum injection time

• Determining the table of sequence for sequential gating

Mold design

• Optimizing cooling efficiency

• Determining air trap location

FSC services can help customers in markets such as telecom,

packaging, automotive, medical, closures, housewares

and cosmetics.

Injection molding and flow simulation specialists analyze and optimize part designs.
