  • TM-1 (11/79)
    one-dimensional filling of center-gated disk or strip of variable width ...became 1-A (2/82) ...superseded by 1-C

  • 1-B (2/82)
    one-dimensional filling in terms of variable-sector approach ...superseded by 1-C

  • 1-C (2/82)
    one-dimensional filling in terms of coupled-flow-path approach; revised (2/83) to include pmax constraint & calculation of clamp force; revised (6/83) to include type-5 (non-circular runner) segments; revised (11/83), (3/84), (7/84), (1/85) and (11/85)

  • 1-E (7/83)
    extension of 1-C to include arbitrary dependence of viscosity upon shear rate, temperature & pressure; also, introduction of fifth type of primitive: non-circular runner; does not include pmax-constraint capability of 1-C; slightly revised (2/84), (3/84) and (5/84)

  • 1-F (2/84)
    extension of 1-C to include hot runners (full round or annular) and specified time-dependent volumetric flow rate but without pmax capability; slightly revised (3/84), (4/84), (1/85) and (4/86)

  • 1-G (9/84)
    same as 1-E but limited to 5-constant (n, Tb, B, C, beta) model with option to use local power-law model in each segment, thereby considerably reducing execution time (typically by a factor of 4) with little attendant inaccuracy; slightly revised (10/84) and (6/85) sive
