Gas core result

The Gas core result shows the gas-polymer boundary throughout the part at the end of filling (fill analysis) or packing (filling + packing analysis).

This result is generated from a Gas-assisted Fill+Pack analysis using 3D analysis technology.

Using this result

The Gas core result is based on the Volume of Fluid method, where a value of 0 is assigned to nodes completely filled with polymer, and 1 is assigned to nodes completely filled with gas. To provide a clear visualization of the gas-polymer boundary as it intersects through the tetrahedral elements of the mesh, the default plot shows a single contour with the value 0.5.

Note: Contours at values other than 0.5 have no direct physical meaning.

The default plot is an animation with respect to time, but you can also create an XY, path or probe plot of this result.

As with other 3D results, we recommend the use of the Cutting plane tool Edit Cutting Plane, Viewer toolbar to explore how much of the cross-section of the part in any given area has been cored out.
