Process Settings Wizard dialog-Stress Settings

This page of the Process Settings Wizard, which can be accessed by clicking Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), is used to specify the stress analysis related process settings for the selected analysis sequence.

Stress analysis is available only for Midplane analysis technology. The Process Settings Wizard-Stress Settings page appears only if the selected analysis sequence includes Stress analysis. Depending on the analysis sequence, it may be necessary to click Next one or more times on the Process Settings Wizard dialog until the Stress Settings page appears.

Note: Some of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the selected analysis sequence.
