Process settings

    1. 1. Topics in this section

    Process settings are all of the instructions needed beyond modeling, including the machine set-up and material properties, such as melt temperature.

    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

      You can specify the process settings that you want to simulate during the analysis.

    • Profiles

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