Energy usage indicator

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Displays a relative value based on the predicted injection pressures and cooling times across a range of geometries.

    Materials are rated from one to five. Materials that are processed more efficiently have a lower value.

    Energy usage indicatorValue
      Least energy required for the production of a part
       
       
       
      Most energy required for the production of a part
      Not Available
    NoteIf the Energy usage indicator is not available, there are two possible reasons.
    • Legacy material data from a personal database or a previous study sometimes does not include environmental information. Reload the material from the current database to view these parameters.
    • The calculations for few materials cannot return an injection pressure or cooling time for all the geometries tested.
