This dialog is used to specify filling phase, packing phase, gate diameter and general solver parameters for the 3D flow solver used in a Fill+Pack or Flow analysis of a 3D model.
To access this dialog, choose an analysis sequence which includes Fill or Fill+Pack (or Flow). Click 
(). Click Next, if necessary, until the Fill or Fill+Pack Settings page appears. Click Advanced Options, then click Edit in the Solver Parameters group. On the Thermoplastics injection molding solver parameters (3D) dialog, select the Fill+Pack Analysis tab.
All solver parameters have a default value that will be suitable for most analyses.
| Simulate inertia effect | Specify whether you want the effects of inertia to be included in the Navier-Stokes calculation. Selecting this option will improve analysis accuracy for thick parts, but is the most compute-intensive option. |
| Simulate gravity effect | Specify whether you want the effects of gravity to be included in the Navier-Stokes 3D flow simulation calculation. |
| GPU options | Specify whether you want numerical calculations to be performed on a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) card when running an analysis. The default setting is Automatic; the solver automatically uses the GPU if one is available. |
| Number of threads for parallelization | Specify the number of threads to be used for parallel solution. |
| Gate contact diameter | Set an automatic or specific gate diameter, for use when analyzing your part without a gate(s) or runner system. |
| Solver parameters | Access the filling phase and packing/curing phase parameters for the 3D flow solver. |
