Creating a customized warp quality criterion

If you are running an analysis sequence that includes warp, you have the option to create your own custom warp quality criterion.

Note: You cannot create a customized warp criterion until you have created a node list or critical dimension to analyze. It is not necessary to specify an anchor plane, because what is used in the study is applied by default.

1. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Optimization) to open the DOE Builder dialog.
2. Select the Quality Criteria tab and scroll down the list to the Warp selection.
3. Click New Warp Criterion to open the Deflection Criterion Type dialog.
4. Select the type of criterion you would like to use to monitor warpage, then click OK.
5. If you have selected Critical Dimension,
   1. on the right-hand side of the Quality Criteria tab in the DOE Builder, double-click the Critical Dimension box to open the Select a critical dimension dialog.
   2. Select the critical dimension you are interested in from the list you have created, then click OK.
6. If you have selected Node List,
   1. on the right-hand side of the Quality Criteria tab in the DOE Builder, double-click the Node List box to open the Select a node list dialog.
      Note: If you have created an anchor plane to use, double-click the Anchor plane box to select it.
   2. Select the node list you are interested in from the list you have created, then click OK.
7. Click Next to move to the next tab of the DOE Builder, or Finish to close it.
