Abstract: With increasing demand in plastic products the plastic industries are growing in faster rate with requirements are intricate shapes with good dimensional accuracy, to meet such a requirement it is important to adopt various advance technologies like CAD/CAM/CAE for development of injection molded components. In this paper, an analysis has been performed by taking plastic indicator of Hero Honda CD100. Mold Flow Plastic Advisor (MPA) simulation tool from Pro/E used for analysis to optimize the different parameters which considered while actual manufacturing of product. This process requires less time to analyze the different parameters such as confidence of fill, best gate location, molding defects etc. with no material waste as compared to conventional hit and trial method used in production floor.
