Running a Runner Balance analysis

Run a Runner Balance analysis to alter runner dimensions, within constraints, to ensure part quality and identical cavity sizes. Creating a well-balanced runner system can result in considerable savings in material usage.

You can only perform a Runner Balance analysis if you have selected a multi-cavity mold type and created a runner system.

  1. Open a model.
  2. Click Analysis Sequence (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Wizard).
  3. In the Sequence tab, select the Runner Balance check box.
  4. Click Finish to close and save the analysis entries, or Analyze to launch the analysis.
    Note: Alternatively, click Start Analysis (Home tab > Analysis panel > Start Analysis).

Once the analysis has finished, the Summary pane appears.

Note: Click (Home tab > Analysis panel > Job Manager > Abort Job) to abort the analysis.
