Performance Evaluation of a Software Engineering Tool for Automated Design of Cooling Systems in Injection Moulding
TLDR
In this paper, a software tool for automating the design of cooling systems for injection molding and a validation of its performance is presented, where two different design methods (i.e. automatic and manual) were applied to the mould design of two thin-walled products, namely a rectangular flat box and a cylindrical container with a flat base.About:
