mold shrinkage value

Asif, have you tried the following?

Step 1: Open the model of the part that you are tryinig to apply shrinkage to.

Step 2: Click the file drop down tab, scroll down to "Prepare" then clock "Model Properties".

Step 3: Under the "Tools" catagory you will see the value Shrinkage and all the way to the right there is a link that says "change".

Step 4: Once you click on change, you will be allowed to apply shrinkage by either scaling, or by dimension.

I hope this helped, best of luck

regards, Ben.

Are you asking what the shrinkage values mean in terms of the physics behind it? Basic concepts? Or are you asking how we'd use those values to build a model for a mold?

Mold shrinkage is a ratio, the units don't matter.  Notice that the value is the same, 0.005, for both metric and English.  It's 0.005 inches of shrinkage per 1 inch or 0.005 cm per 1 cm.  The same would be true of mm or km or yards or whatever.  

What it is saying is that it shrinks 1/2 of one percent. In other words, for each 1 unit of length it will shrink 0.005 units.
