Setting how intermediate results are created (3D)

Intermediate results offer additional time-animation capabilities and recovery options. During a Fill+Pack analysis, intermediate results are saved at pre-specified intervals by default.

You can choose when to save intermediate results.

  1. Click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings).
  2. In the Fill or Fill+Pack Settings page, click Advanced Options. The Fill+Pack Analysis Advanced Options dialog appears.
  3. In the Solver Parameters area, click Edit. The Thermoplastics injection molding solver parameters dialog appears.
  4. From the Intermediate results drop-down list in the Fill+Pack Analysis tab, select an option to set how intermediate results are created.
    • None does not display interval results.
    • Write at constant intervals displays results at a constant and regular interval. Edit the intervals if necessary to specify the number of results per interval.
    • Write at specified times displays results at user-defined times. Edit the times if necessary to specify when intermediate results are created.
  5. Click OK twice and complete the Process Settings Wizard.
  6. Click Start Analysis (Home tab > Analysis panel > Start Analysis) to launch the analysis. Intermediate results will be saved as configured.
