The Conversion result shows the conversion value (degree of cure) at a particular part thickness over the duration of the entire molding process. This part thickness is the normalized thickness.
The Conversion result is generated from a Midplane or Dual Domain Reactive Molding analysis if the Number of profiled results specified in the solver parameters is not 0.
Premature conversion is a typical molding problem and occurs when the material solidifies (cures) in the mold cavity before the curing phase is complete. If the material pre-cures, you will see an acceleration of the melt, followed by strong hesitation, that is, viscosity suddenly decreases because material is too hot, then abruptly increases as material pre-cures.
If pre-cure occurs, increase the specified curing time until conversion throughout the entire part reaches the recommended Ejection conversion value for the material.
Normalized thickness values range from 0 to 1, where 0 is the center of the part and 1 is the plastic/metal interface (mold wall). The Conversion result shows the degree of cure at the selected normalized part thickness.
