A bubble is a spherical, internal void caused by air or other gas trapped within a molded plastic product. A bubble differs from a blister in that the bubble is contained within the part, whereas a ...

bubbler

Software; CAM

A bubbler is cooling system component. It is a central circular channel that can be introduced into the mold and is used to regulate and direct the passage of coolant fluid, so that the coolant can ...

buckling

Software; CAM

Buckling is the conversion of in-plane membrane energy to bending energy and usually involves large deformations of the part. It is the principle mode of failure of a planar thin structure under ...

air trap

Software; CAM

An air trap is an air or gas bubble that has been trapped by converging flow fronts or trapped against the cavity wall. This causes a surface blemish on the part. Air traps can be prevented by ...

amorphous polymers

Software; CAM

Amorphous polymers are a family of polymers that are characterized by entangled polymer chains that are loosely bound. The term amorphous indicates that there is no preferred orientation of the ...

anisotropic shrinkage

Software; CAM

Anisotropic shrinkage is shrinkage that has different magnitudes in different directions. Anisotropic shrinkage occurs in filled materials due to the restriction of shrinkage along the fiber length, ...

aspect ratio

Software; CAM

Aspect ratio normally refers to the relation between width and height of a mesh element. These are important because they affect analysis accuracy. Aspect ratios are especially important in sensitive ...
