Clamping Unit tab

Table of contents

No headers

The Clamping Unit tab of the Injection molding machine dialog is used to specify clamping unit related properties of the injection molding machine.

Maximum machine clamp force	Specifies the maximum allowable clamping force to be used in the Gate Location analysis.
Do not exceed maximum clamp force	Select this check box if you do not want simulation to exceed the clamp force listed in the Maximum machine clamp force box.
