Specifying a temperature profile (Midplane & Dual Domain)

1. Click and drag on the area where the temperature profile is to apply.
2. Right click on the highlighted area and select Properties from the menu that appears. The Part surface dialog appears.
3. Select the Mold Temperature Profile tab.

   For a Midplane model, the following steps may need to be repeated for both the top and bottom surface.

4. Click Select. The Select mold surface temperature profile dialog appears.
5. Choose the profile to assign to the selected surface area. If you need to define a new profile, choose Mold temperature profile.
6. Click Select. The Part surface dialog re-appears.
7. Select the required profile from the drop-down box. If the profile does not require editing, click OK to exit the dialog.
8. Click Edit. The Mold surface temperature profile dialog appears.
9. Enter the temperature profile information in the table.
   Note: When defining a profile, the time component must be entered in ascending order.
   Note: If the injection cycle time is longer than the total profile time, the last temperature specified will apply to the balance of the cycle time.
   Note: A profile can have temperatures that increase and decrease, but if the temperature drops below the transition temperature (Ttrans) of the material it must remain below this value for the rest of the profile.
   Caution: If you modify an existing profile, all zones previously assigned with that profile will be modified as well.
10. Enter a suitable name for the temperature profile, if required, and click OK twice to exit the dialog.
