Thermoset Material
Ejection Criteria
- Curing-based directs the solver to continue
the curing simulation until the material reaches the
specified target curing level, eliminating the guesswork of
determining the curing time.
- Time-based sets a specific curing time for
the solver to complete the thermoset curing simulation.
After you run the simulation, you can review the results to
determine the percentage of curing achieved across your
model and adjust the curing time to either shorten or extend
the process.

Material’s Target
Curing Level at Ejection sets the percentage of
curing at which the thermoset material reaches its gelation
point—where its viscosity becomes infinite, and it loses the ability
to flow. Curing beyond this level is not beneficial and only adds to
the manufacturing cycle time. This characteristic is an intrinsic
property of the material determined through characterization,
typically provided by the material manufacturer. |

New parameter: Volume
% Above Target Curing Level at Ejection sets a
threshold volume percentage that determines the ejection point. The
default setting is 90%, meaning the part is ejected once 90% of the
plastic volume reaches the target curing level. |
