    Hello @James Lewis ,

    There is no particular result type as a Clamp force in Inspire PolyFoam. However, when you run residual stress analysis. Mold contact pressure is calculated during foaming and curing. These information is written to the “MoldPressure.dat” file in the “Res” folder of simulation run folder. As the mass increases, the maximum mold contact pressure increases. However, the mold contact pressure is similar during filling stage. To calculate this, you need to enable the residual stress calculation from File>Preferences>analysis.
