Exercise 11: Process selection

You can also filter ProcessUniverse records in the same way as for MaterialUniverse by combining selection stages.

  1. Select the data table
    1. Select from: ProcessUniverse: Shaping.
  2. Find Primary shaping processes to make a component with specific shape, physical, and economic properties.
    1. Add a Limit Stage with five criteria:
      Shape
      Dished sheet
      Mass range
      10 - 12 kg
      Range of section thickness
      4 mm
      Process characteristics
      Primary shaping process
      Economic batch size
      > 1000
  3. Filter the results to only include Thermoplastic materials
    1. Add a Tree Stage and Insert MaterialUniverse > Polymers and Elastomers > Polymers > Thermoplastic.
      Example results: Rotational molding, Compression molding, Thermoforming
