Crystallization: Relative crystallinity result

The Crystallization: Relative crystallinity result measures the ratio of crystallized volume at a given time to the total crystallizable volume.

Values of relative crystallinity can range from 0 to 1. A value of 0 corresponds to no crystallinity (the material is in the amorphous phase). A value of 1 corresponds to attainment of Ultimate crystallinity for the material; this parameter is given in the Thermoplastics material dialog, Crystallization Morphology tab.

This result is calculated for each element. It is available for display after completion of a Fill+Pack analysis.

Using this result

The Crystallization: Relative crystallinity result may be displayed as a contour or shaded plot animated over time at a selected normalized thickness value, or animated over normalized thickness at a selected time. The Animation plot over time at a normalized thickness of 1.00 is the default display.

This result also may be displayed as an XY Plot or as a Path Plot.
