    This page of the Process Settings Wizard, which can be accessed by clicking (Home tab File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/2464-Molding_2464/2685-Process_2685/ac.menuaro.gif Molding Process Setup panel File:Simulation_Moldflow/enu/2013/Help/Insight/2464-Molding_2464/2685-Process_2685/ac.menuaro.gif Process Settings), is used to specify the Reactive Molding related process settings for the selected analysis sequence.

    NoteSome of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the mesh type, molding process and analysis sequence selected.

    Mold surface temperatureThe temperature of the mold at the plastic-metal interface, where the plastic touches the mold.
    Melt temperatureThe temperature of the molten plastic, or melt, as it starts to flow into the cavity.
    Nominal injection time Enter the injection time that you would use with the injection unit for the process.
    Melt initial conversionEnter a value between -1 and 1 to specify the initial conversion (curing) level at the injection location.
    Curing timeThe time taken for a thermoset material to become sufficiently cross-linked from heating to form a solid and freeze.
    Machine pressure limitThe maximum allowable hydraulic pressure that can be used on the injection molding machine.
    Intensification ratioThe ratio of the material pressure in front of the screw, compared to the oil pressure in the piston of the injection molding machine.
    Preconditioning analysisSpecifies whether a preconditioning analysis should be performed.
    Filling controlSpecifies the method by which the filling phase of the analysis is controlled.
    Velocity/pressure switch-overThe criteria by which the molding machine will switch from velocity control to pressure control.
    Pack/holding controlSpecifies the method by which the pressure phase of the molding process is controlled.
    Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material

    Enables a Fiber orientation analysis if the material includes fiber.
