There are many characteristics to look at when selecting a suitable material for simulation:
• Viscosity – Viscosity is the measure of the ability of a material to resist flow. This means that a
higher viscosity will cause the material to flow slower. Viscosity is typically defined by the Melt
Flow Index (MFI) or Melt Flow Rate (MFR). The viscosity of a material is dependent on the
temperature and shear conditions it is under.
