ANALISA PERBANDINGAN SIMULASI ALIRAN PLASTIK TUTUP GALON MENGGUNAKAN SOFTWARE SOLIDWORKS DAN INVENTOR

Abstract

A gallon lid is a closing tool whose main function is to keep the water from spilling and maintain the hygiene of the water in it to avoid dust and dirt from outside while providing user comfort in accessing and using water. In Bangka Belitung Province there is no factory that produces gallon lids even though the use of gallon lids is much needed for drinking water managers both small and medium. The purpose of making this final project is to produce optimal parameters from the simulation and get comparative results from simulations using Solid works plastic software with inventor Mold fill analysis software. In solving this problem using data collection methods, making 3D models of gallon lid Molds, determining alternative layout designs, making plastic flow simulations using software, and conducting comparative analysis. The optimal parameters obtained from the simulation results of the two software are, melt temperature 280 ° C, Mold temperature 60 ° C, fill time 0.4 s, injection pressure limits 200 MPa and clamp force limits 101.97 tonnes. For comparison of the simulation results of Solid works plastic with inventor Mold fill analysis layout 1 and 3 the difference in fill time on both is the same, which is 0.04 s, with ease off fill in Solid works marked with green and yellow indications while in inventor only identified green color and for defective weld lines on layout 1 and 3 in Solid works does not show any weld lines while in inventor there are weld lines on layout 1 and 3.
