Process settings

    1. 1. Topics in this section

    After modeling the part and designing the mold, including the feed and cooling system, you must define the machine parameters. The available process settings will change according to the analysis sequence that you have selected.

    Regardless of the analysis sequence, you can set the mold and melt temperatures, and define the velocity/pressure switchover, injection time, and the machine clamp open time.

    Topics in this section

    • Process settings (Procedure)

      An analysis can be modified to simulate the actual process settings.

    • Profiles

      Profiles are used to ensure that the simulation matches the actual molding process as accurately as possible.

    • Pressure control points
    • Process controller

      The Process controller is used to enter the control aspects of the processing conditions into the simulation, including the profile/switch-over, temperature, and time controls, and other controls depending on the selected molding process and analysis sequence.

    • Injection molding machine

      You can select an injection molding machine from a database to be used in the analysis so that it matches the actual manufacturing process.

    • Solver parameters

      Solver parameters allow you to configure the advanced settings in an analysis.
