Part (3D) dialog-Mold Properties

Table of contents

No headers

The Mold Properties tab of this dialog is used to specify the properties of the mold block in contact with the selected tetrahedral elements of type Part (3D).

The set of property values defined by the dialog are saved to a property set with the description shown in the Name box. In addition, you may be given the option to also apply the property values to related entities in the model.

Note 3D-Cool analysis does not support the use of occurrence numbers.
