2D MOLD-FILLING ANALYSIS SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE USED MORE AS LOW-COST ALTERNATIVES TO GRAPHICS-BASED ANALYSIS WHICH USE FINITE ELEMENT MEANS TO DEVELOP 3D IMAGES OF THE PLASTIC FLOW IN INJECTION MOLDED PARTS. A MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF MOLD FILLING ANALYSIS IS TO BALANCE THE FLOWS SO THAT THE CAVITIES FILL AT THE SAME TIME AND PRESSURE. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE METHODS, BENEFITS, AND LIMITATIONS OF 2D ANALYSIS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AND OTHER OBJECTIVES, ALONG WITH A DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO PLAN AN ANALYSIS.
