The Stress Analysis tab of this dialog is used to specify values for stress analysis related inputs for a thermoplastics analysis of a Midplane model.
Stress analysis type | Allows you to select the type of stress analysis to run. |
Stress result(s) to output | Specify which laminate-based stress-related results the solver will output. |
Consider gate surface and cold runners? | Specifies whether cold runners and/or gate surface elements, if present in your model, are taken into consideration during the stress analysis. |
Consider mold thermal expansion | Select this check box if you want stress analysis to consider the effect of mold thermal expansion on the molded-in stress levels in the part. |
Matrix solver | Select the equation solver to be used in the stress analysis. |
