MoldFlowA gas assist analysis is used to core out and pack thick areas of parts. By conducting
a gas assist analysis you can attain optimal gas injection location to achieve maximum
evacuation and reduce “blow-through.” It can predict the amount of evacuation of
plastic in the gas channel for over spill calculation and wall stock thickness after gas.
The software simulates gas injection into the polymer melt either through the nozzle of
the molding machine, or directly into the mold or hot runner.

◊ Measures percentage of gas in the cavity
during the filling and packing of the part

◊ Measures part thickness at end of cycle

◊ Indicates total design weight
