The mesh partitions each domain of the simulation model (such as the cavity, cooling channel, and runner) into many cells. Within each cell, the simulation considers material and flow behavior as constant.
There are two methods for meshing the geometry that you want to include in the plastic injection molding simulation:
|
Automatic
|
Creates a robust mesh automatically
|
|
Manual
|
Lets you set preferred mesh settings, access mesh editing tools, and improve the quality of the mesh. By creating a more refined mesh with smaller cells, the simulation can predict more detailed material and flow behavior at the expense of longer simulation times.
