Sink Index Result

The Sink index indicates the likely presence and location of sink marks (and voids) in the part. The Sink index is an indication of the potential shrinkage due to a hot core. It is calculated for each element at the instant when local pressure has decayed to zero during the packing stage, and reflects how much material is still melt and left unpacked. Higher sink index value shows higher potential shrinkage.
