Specifying a temperature profile (3D mesh)

1. Click and drag on the model to select the entities on which the temperature profile is to apply.
2. Right-click on the selected entities and select Properties. The Part (3D) dialog appears.
3. Select the Part Surface Properties tab.
4. From the Mold surface temperature list, select Profile.
5. Click Select. The Select mold temperature controller dialog appears.
6. Select a profile from the Mold surface temperature list. If the required profile does not appear in the list:
   1. Click Select to browse for a predefined profile; for example, you can choose a profile that you saved in another study.
   2. Click Select to confirm the profile selection and return to the Select mold temperature controller dialog.
7. If necessary, click Edit to make changes to the selected profile or define a new profile. The Mold surface temperature dialog appears.
8. Edit the temperature profile information in the table; specify a suitable name if you are defining a new profile.
   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 ( ) of a thermoplastic 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.
9. Click OK to save the profile and return to the Select mold temperature controller dialog.
10. Ensure the required profile is selected from the Mold surface temperature list and click OK twice to exit the dialog.
