Abstract: A series of boundary integration equations for the mold cooling analysis in injection molding have been presented in this paper. A three dimensional mold-cooling simulation system for injection molding has been developed based on boundary element method. Special attention has been given to the formulation and numerical treatment of the integral equations, solution of the linear equations and computer storage management in order to reduce the time consumption. The proposed formulae, two-step iteration method for the solution of linear equations together with the developed program package of computer storage management reduce the time consumption of mold-cooling simulation dramatically.
