Simulation of injection molding of polymeric materials is still a series scientific and engineering problem. The quality of the input data is crucial forcomputation accuracy. The original, relatively simple tool has been designed to validate simulations. This allows a fast identification of the criticalinput data, and next their proper adjustment to computations. FEM simulations have been compared with directly registered pictures of cavity fillingprocess in a special injection mold with a sight-glass.
