Temperature, part insert result

The Temperature, part insert result shows the temperature change over time of a part insert that uses tetrahedral elements.

Using this result

You can use this result to identify localized hot or cold spots on the surface of the part insert. Using the cutting plane tools, you can also examine the temperatures within the part insert.

Things to look for

• The temperature of the part insert should not be colder than the coldest inlet temperature or the initial temperature of the mold.
• If the initial part insert temperature you have specified is less than the melt temperature, ensure that part insert warms up adequately during the cycle.
• Conversely, if the initial part insert temperature you have specified is greater than the melt temperature, ensure that part insert cools down adequately during the cycle.

Note: Adjustments such as those above can only be made using a licensed Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser or Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight product.
