Mold Fill Analysis: CEI - Bracket

The document provides specifications for molding analysis of a bracket part including: 1) Mold design details such as part volume, weight, thickness, and projected area. 2) Machine requirements for the molding process such as clamp force, shot size, injection rate, and temperatures. 3) Analysis results including estimated fill time, pressures, fiber orientation, sink displacement, and cooling time. 4) A disclaimer that the estimates do not include sprue/runner/gate systems which would increase requirements.
