The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm identifies optimal injection locations based on minimizing the flow resistance.
This algorithm produces the Flow resistance indicator result and, optionally, the Gating suitability result. The Flow resistance indicator result shows the resistance at the flow front from the gates. The Gating suitability result rates each place on the model for its suitability as an injection location.
When using this algorithm, you can specify multiple gates with one analysis. This algorithm requires the model to have no existing injection locations.
Note:
- The Gating suitability result is produced only if the Number of gates is set to one (1); otherwise, only the Flow resistance indicator result is produced.
- You can also define prohibited gate regions to specify areas on the part where you do not want to place injection locations.
