Process Settings Wizard dialog-Fill+Pack Settings for First Component Stage

This page of the Process Settings Wizard, which can be accessed by clicking (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), is used to specify filling and packing phase simulation related process settings for the first component stage of the overmolding analysis sequence.

Note: Some of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the mesh type, molding process and analysis sequence selected.

Mold surface temperature	The temperature of the mold at the plastic-metal interface, where the plastic touches the mold.
Melt temperature	The temperature of the molten plastic, or melt, as it starts to flow into the cavity.
Filling control	Specifies the method by which the filling phase of the analysis is controlled.
Velocity/pressure switch-over	The criteria by which the molding machine will switch from velocity control to pressure control.
Pack/holding control	Specifies the method by which the pressure phase of the molding process is controlled.
Cooling time	Specify a cooling time, or have it calculated automatically during the Fill+Pack analysis.
Advanced options...	Displays the advanced options for the analysis.
Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material	Enables a Fiber orientation analysis if the material includes fiber.
Birefringence analysis if material data includes optical properties	Produces stress-optical birefringence results if the material has optical properties.
