This could result in a Silver Warpage Quality Indicator rating.īronze ratings can reflect problems such as incomplete data sets, the extensive use of supplemental data and untested material properties. For example, a material might have a Gold Packing Quality rating but use supplemental Mechanical Properties data. When accurate analysis results are critical, it is recommended that a material with a Gold rating should be used.Ī Silver rating can result from a combination of well tested, and supplemental 1 material data. How recently the testing was completed.Ī Gold rating indicates a high confidence in the quality of the material data for the analysis type.Completeness of the range of material properties needed for the analysis type.Testing method employed to generate the value of each material property.The Warpage Quality Indicator cannot exceed the Packing Quality Indicator.Įach indicator can be assigned a Gold, Silver or Bronze rating based on the following criteria. Incorporates the suitability of the Packing Quality Indicator along with the Mechanical Property and Shrinkage data. The Packing Quality Indicator cannot exceed the Fill Quality Indicator.


Incorporates the quality of the Fill Quality Indicator results and the pvT data. Investigates the quality of the Viscosity, Specific Heat Capacity and Thermal Conductivity data. There are three different indicators that reflect the confidence you can have in the material data, for different analysis requirements. Because of the importance of quality material data on analysis accuracy, Autodesk Moldflow Plastics Labs have developed Material Quality Indicators.
