Cross-Sectional Dimensions dialog

This dialog is used to specify the cross-sectional dimensions of the selected cold or hot runner/gate/sprue, part beam, cooling channel or part surface curves or beam elements.

A number of different cross-sectional shapes for beam elements are supported, as well as a generic definition of the cross-sectional shape based on a shape factor.

Note: If you select Shape Is: Tapered (by angle) for runner system related beams or elements, you are required to enter a Tapered angle value. The tapered angle is equivalent to half the included angle. For example, standard sprues have an included angle of .5″/12″, or about 2.38°, which corresponds to a tapered angle of 1.19°.
