Computer flow analysis will help identify areas that will be prone to experiencing
flow pattern issues. Running an analysis before a mold is built will help minimize
the risk of fill pattern problems. If the mold has already been built flow leaders or
flow restrictions may need to be added to compensate for the flow issues.
