Clamp Force (Tonnage) Calculation
We are being requested to provide an estimated clamp tonnage from our mold sampling department. Has anyone used Creo Tool Design to calculate clamp tonnage? Is there a feature for this? I know Creo understands molding surfaces versus molding surfaces, parting line, and the molding part has the material assigned to it. Therefore, It would be nice for Creo to provide the user a estimate as to how many ton (force) to keep the mold closed during injection.

Applications > Mold / Cast; Switch to Mold & Cast Tab > Analysis Group > Projected Area
Save this analysis feature. This will provide the projected area needed to calculate the clamp force needed as a function of the injection pressure. You can write a relation to use this area and the injection pressure to make the calculation in the part model if desired.
