Moldflow develops plastic injection molding software.
Nozzle pressure is the pressure applied to the polymer at the nozzle. Setting nozzle pressure is one way of specifying the injection pressure of the polymer.

Optimization is the process of finding the best conditions for molding a particular part. The part geometry, the material selection, the injection location, and the processing conditions can all be optimized.

Overlapping mesh elements are mesh elements that overlap in the same plane. Remove overlapping elements from a mesh because they interfere with accurate analyses.
Overlapping elements include:
1) Mesh elements do not overlap.
2) Partially overlapping mesh elements.
3) Fully overlapping mesh elements.

Overpacking occurs when extra material is compressed into one flow path while other flow paths are still filling. The shortest and thickest flow paths fill first, resulting in overpacking. Overpacking can cause warpage, flashing and excessive cycle time and part weight.
Overpacking generally occurs in sections with the shortest fill time.

Plastication is the process in which raw material is changed to melt and pushed to the front of the screw through a rotational action.

Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) data describes the specific volume (1/density) of a material as a function of temperature and pressure. It describes the temperature/pressure relationship for polymers over the entire processing range.
Industry:Software
Process parameters are variables that typically correspond to molding machine settings. Commonly used process parameters include:
*Maximum injection pressure.
*Screw cushion.
* Pressure stroke.
*Cycle time.
*Charge stroke.
*Mean injection pressure.
Industry:Software
Processing conditions are the variables that control the molding process. These include:
*The injection velocity.
*The pressure applied to the melt.
*The mold and melt temperatures.
The material grade being used.

Purging is the cleaning of one color or type of material from the injection molding machine. This can be done by forcing the material out with a new color, a new material, or with another purging material.
