This dialog is used to specify the part ejection criteria for a Cool analysis with automatic calculation of the required cooling time. These inputs are used by the Cool and Cool (FEM) solvers to determine the optimum cooling time for the part.
To access this dialog, ensure that you have selected an analysis sequence that includes Cool or Cool (FEM), click
(), and set the option to Automatic, then click .
When running an automatic cycle time, the solver initially tries to determine the time it takes to achieve the average . If this cannot be achieved, then the cycle time will be determined by using the time taken for the to fall below the .
For a Midplane or Dual Domain analysis, the cooling time is determined by the time taken for each element to reach at least the specified minimum part percentage frozen at ejection time.
A 3D analysis bases the cooling time on the overall part volume percentage frozen.
