Accuracy limits: packing is a time-stepped compressible Hele-Shaw solve (Tait PVT) with first-mode slab cooling and frozen-layer growth, gate held at the set pack pressure (no runner/nozzle losses); residual stress from a layered thermo-viscoelastic model (in-mould constraint, Maxwell relaxation); fiber orientation is a fill-direction approximation, not Folgar-Tucker. Published benchmarks: within ~2x on a mould-ΔT case, large under-prediction on flat plates warped by unmodelled effects (see review); treat values as trend indicators, not tolerances.
