Temperature Criteria for Short Shots

A Flow Analysis setting Temperature Criteria for Short Shots improves the FLOW simulation accuracy of predicting potential short shots.

Short shots may occur when the temperature at the melt-front falls below the Glass Transition temperature of the plastic material.

The Temperature Criteria for Short Shots setting with the default temperature value set to the Glass Transition temperature is enabled by default. When this setting is enabled, the temperature within the elements along the melt front is continuously monitored, and when the temperature falls below the specified value, a short shot is detected.
