Elsyca Introduces PlatingManager V5

The latest release includes a set of new functionalities that will help facilities to further predict plating performances and increase manufacturing capacity.

This new module allows shops to compute the liquid dragged outside a given plating tank by the components on the rack or predict the position of gas bubbles inside components' cavities. The new module prevents drag-over that can contaminate subsequent plating operations and avoid upfront local surface blockage due to gas bubbles. 

Users can launch multiple scenarios at once within one project. Users can now define multiple scenarios based on part and tooling arrangement, plating time, or ramp-up parameters. Remaining within one project, users can easily compare the impact the different parameters can have on the final plating quality.

To ease the analysis of contact alternatives on the quality of the plated layers, users can now define inside one project multiple contact arrangement scenarios. All scenarios can be launched at once with the new multiple scenarios solver.

In order to quickly assess the spread of the plating over the entire component, users can now benefit from the automatic creation of uniform distribution of P-points on any component (complete part or selection of A, B, C, type surfaces). 

Other new functionalities include:

  • Components mirroring and rack positioning: Easily create Left and Right components of a part and arrange parts configuration on a flight bar.
  • Circular rack patterns definition: Quickly define a circular pattern for your rack configuration.
  • Fast project import: Load your project without the results and save time. 

In some cases, due to the geometry of the parts to be plated and due to the location and number of contact clips, chemical dissolution of the seed layer may occur before this thin layer is plated over. The apparition of this phenomenon can now be predicted upfront with the new release of Elsyca PlatingManager. It provides users an increased accuracy of the final deposit thicknesses in areas remote from contacting zones.
