 1. Introduction
This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the Shell/Solid Based Surface Model,
focusing on the simulation results of the injection molding process for a polypropylene (PP)
component. The study includes detailed evaluations of the FLOW, PACK, COOL, and WARP
stages, along with material properties and process conditions. Key parameters such as filling
time, clamping forces, temperature distributions, and shear stress are analyzed to assess the
manufacturability and quality of the final product. The report also highlights critical figures,
including polymer viscosity graphs and flow front animations, to provide a visual
understanding of the process dynamics.

CONCLUSION

• The simulation results demonstrate that the injection molding process

for the PP component is feasible under the specified conditions. The
FLOW stage analysis reveals optimal filling times and acceptable
temperature distributions, while the clamping forces remain within
safe limits. However, the absence of data for the PACK, COOL, and
WARP stages suggests potential areas for further investigation.
Overall, the findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the
manufacturing process, ensuring product quality, and minimizing
defects. Future work could include refining the cooling strategy and
validating the warp predictions to enhance the model's accuracy.
