Exercise 5: Selecting processes using Limit and Tree Stages

Combine Limit and Tree selection stages to identify processes which meet mutlitple selection criteria.

  1. Choose the Selection Data.
    Select from: > ProcessUniverse > Shaping processes.
  2. Find Primary shaping processes for a component with specific shape, physical, and economic properties.

    Add a Limit Stage with five criteria:

    Shape
    Dished sheet
    Mass range
    10 - 12 kg
    Section thickness
    4 mm
    Primary shaping process
    Yes
    Economic batch size
    > 1000
  3. Filter the results to only include Thermoplastic materials

    Add a Tree Stage and select MaterialUniverse > Polymers > Plastics > Thermoplastics.

    Example results: Compression molding, Rotational molding, Thermoplastic composite molding.
