    Specifies the heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) criteria to be applied to the selected tetrahedral elements.

    • Use global setting in advanced options-Use this option if you want to use the thermal properties specified in the Advanced options of the Process Settings Wizard.

      NoteTo view the global settings,
      1. Click (Home tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/1572-The_mesh1572/1825-Local_he1825/ac.menuaro.gif Molding Process Setup panel File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/1572-The_mesh1572/1825-Local_he1825/ac.menuaro.gif Process Settings).
      2. Click Advanced options.
      3. In the Solver parameters group, click Edit.
      4. Select the Mesh tab.
    • Perfect contact-When selected there is no heat resistance between the part and the mold surface. When this option is selected the wall nodes are a fixed thermal boundary for analysis purposes.

    • Local heat transfer coefficients-Allows you to specify the heat transfer coefficients for the selected tetrahedral elements. Click Set to adjust or view the Heat Transfer Coefficients for the selected tetrahedra.

    Note When assigning the heat transfer coefficient to an in-mold label, it is the ratio of thermal conductivity of label to the thickness of the label.
