Abstract: In the plastics industry, CFD simulation has been used for many years to support mold design. However, using simulation as a substitute for experimentation remains a major challenge to this day. This is due to the unknown congruence between simulation and experiment. The present work focuses on a comparison between simulation (generated with the software Moldflow Insight Ultimate from Autodesk Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA) and experiment by using molds of different complexity, where, in contrast to a large number of previous investigations, both the characteristics of the parts and the time series of the process parameters were compared with each other. For this purpose, the high-resolution time series of the process parameters injection pressure, flow rate, and cavity pressure as well as the mass and the dimensions of the manufactured parts were acquired during the experiments and the results were compared with the computations obtained from the simulation. In addition, potential causes like the material data, mesh and solver parameter, and the machine-specific behavior were analyzed to assess which of these causes may be decisive for a deviation between simulation and experiment.
