- Cooling System Boundary Conditions
Cooling systems regulate the temperature of the mold, and are passageways within the body of a mold through which a cooling medium, typically water, steam or oil, circulates.
- Runner Element PropertyManager
With the Runner Element boundary condition, you can identify portions of your cavity domain that do not belong to the finished part such as: gates, runners, and sprues. These elements are not included in Warping analysis, and their mass is not included in the X-Y Part Mass result plot.
- Symmetry Face PropertyManager
The Symmetry Face boundary condition identifies surfaces of cavities and runner domains that belong to planes of symmetry. With this feature, you can avoid simulating both cavities in a symmetrical mold layout, saving computer time for the simulation.
- Filled Hot Runner PropertyManager
The Filled Hot Runner boundary condition identifies surfaces of your runner system that are heated. These sections of the runner are initially filled with hot polymer at the start of the Filling simulation.
- Injection Location PropertyManager
Polymer material at the specified Melt Temperature is introduced into the cavity through injection locations. You can define multiple injection locations for each cavity, but a minimum of one injection location per cavity is required. You can also define Control Valves (also known as Gate Valves) in the injection system that open and close during the injection process.
- Air Vents PropertyManager
The Air Vents boundary condition identifies vent locations in your cavity. This boundary condition is used with the venting analysis feature that is activated in the Fill Settings PropertyManager.
- Clamp Force PropertyManager
Use the Clamp Force PropertyManager to setup the Clamp Force direction and the elements excluded from the calculation of Clamp Force.
