-
From the Setup section of the action bar,
click Process Settings
.
-
Expand the Plastic flow simulations section.
-
Optional: For each injection location, specify the general analysis options
that apply to all simulation types.
-
Enter a value as the Melt temperature, which is the
temperature at which the polymer material enters the injection locations.
-
Enter a value as the Default mold temperature, which is the
temperature uniformly applied across the mold.
The app
overrides this value with any mold wall conditions that you define and with results
from the Mold simulation.
-
Enter a value as the Ejection temperature, which is the
temperature below which you can safely eject the part from the mold.
-
From the Gravity direction options, select the downward
direction in which gravity acts.
You can choose any of the axes in the global coordinate system and in either
direction.
-
Expand the Part inserts section.
-
Optional: Enter values for the temperature of each part insert in your
model.
When you select a field in the dialog box to enter a temperature, the app
highlights the corresponding part insert in your model in teal.
If you do not enter a value, the app assumes
that the part inserts are at ambient temperature.
-
Expand the Mold-Melt heat transfer coefficient section.
-
Optional: Describe the heat transfer between the polymer material and the
mold walls during the Fill and Pack simulations.
-
Select Enable.
-
Enter a value as the Filling stage, which is the mold-melt
heat transfer coefficient during the Fill simulation.
-
Enter a value as the Packing stage, which is the mold-melt
heat transfer coefficient during the Pack simulation.
-
Click OK.
