- 1. How it works
The Molding Window analysis is used to calculate the best preliminary process settings for your study. This analysis quickly provides you with recommendations for the injection time, mold temperature, and melt temperature to use as preliminary inputs for a Fill+Pack analysis.
How it works
The Molding Window analysis uses the part geometry and the selected material and injection location to run a series of calculations, varying the process settings each time.
For each of these calculations, the Molding Window analysis checks whether certain results are achieved and then recommends the injection time and the temperature zones to mold your part. The analysis shows the feasible and preferred molding zones, and also shows which process settings will result in the highest quality molding.
Setting up a Molding Window analysis
The following table summarizes the setup tasks required to prepare a Molding Window analysis.
| Setup task | Analysis technology |

| Injection locations | |
| Process settings | |
Running a Molding Window analysis
- Open an existing project, or create a new one.
- Open a study, or click
then 
(, and then import a CAD model. - Click
(, and then click the model to insert an injection point. - Click
(, select Molding Window from the analysis sequence list, and then click Next.
Specifying process settings for a Molding Window analysis
- Ensure that your model is meshed
Using a Molding Window display
- First run a Molding Window Analysis.
