Ensure you have activated the layer containing the nodes you want to prohibit.
Before running a Gate Location analysis using the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm, you should set a constraint on the nodes where you do not want injection locations. This may be based on part or mold geometry, or where a defect caused by an injection location must be avoided.
- Click
. The Prohibited Gate Nodes dialog is displayed. - Select the nodes you want to prohibit from being injection locations. You can change the Selection option Filter to be Any item, Nearest Node (selects one node), or Node. In the Input Parameters area the Select list displays the node number(s)
- Click Apply to prohibit the selected nodes. The model display indicates prohibited nodes by colouring them red.
Prohibited gate nodes will not allow an injection location to be placed in that position when a Gate Location is run using the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm. Repeat the steps above to apply the constraint to more nodes if necessary.
