You can assign boundary conditions such as Injection Locations, Control
Valves, and Mold Wall Temperatures directly on geometry entities.
In the PlasticsManager tree, expand Boundary
Conditions (Geometry Based).
In addition to the mesh-based assignment of boundary conditions (applied
to elemental nodes or elemental faces), you can assign boundary conditions directly on
geometry. This enhancement lets you position Injection Locations or Control Valves more
accurately, and associate the boundary condition assignments directly to geometry when
changes to the part geometry occur.
The software saves the boundary conditions you create directly on a part's
geometry in the .sldprt file. You need to share
only the .sldprt file so that your team members can
view the geometry-based boundary conditions on the model. Configuration-specific study
features are also saved.
Geometry-based boundary conditions have limited support for shell meshes.
Injection Locations on Geometry
You can assign Injection Locations directly to a part's geometry before
creating a mesh.
In the PlasticsManager tree, right-click Boundary
Conditions (Geometry Based), and click Injection Location (Geometry Based).
Use sketch points or geometry faces that represent the gate cross-section (gate
or injection area) to precisely position the Injection Locations.
