Injection Location (Node)
|
Positions the injection location on a selected vertex on the part. The injection location snaps to the nearest node of
the mesh. |
| |
Injection Location (Face) |
Available for solid mesh only. After you added an injection location, the corresponding mesh faces are highlighted. You can modify the injection location definition by selecting more or fewer mesh faces.
|
 |
Pointer Diameter
|
Controls the size of the gate. Sets the diameter of the conical pointer which indicates the injection location. |
| |
Add Location |
Adds an injection location on the selected face of the part cavity. You can select multiple faces to add multiple injection locations. Mesh elements enclosed by the projection of the pointer diameter are highlighed in the graphics area and set the injection location boundary. When you use multiple injection locations, the cavity is partially filled with material entering from all injection locations. Weld lines develop where the flow fronts merge together. To display weld lines: Double-click Flow Results (under Results) and select Weld Lines.

 |
Delete Injection Location |
Deletes the highlighted injection location. |
 |
Delete All Injection Locations
|
Deletes all defined injection locations. |
 |
Automatically Add Locations |
Defines up to 10 injection locations on the part cavity automatically. The program adds injection locations onto the part based on the geometry and optimized balanced fill pattern. |
 |
Predict Flow Pattern |
Predicts the plastic flow pattern through the cavity at the end of fill. |
