Mold Surface Wizard

To run a Transient Cool analysis, you will need to have modeled a mold with associated cooling channels, hoses, baffles etc. and any additional components, such as mold inserts that you can import. If such a model does not exist, you can use the Mold Surface Wizard to create a mold around the part, feed system and cooling channels.

Mold models defined through the Mold Surface Wizard must contain both cooling channels and a feed system. The feed systems can be represented by tetras or beam elements, but both the feed system and the cooling channels must be represented by underlying curves, in order to be included in the mold mesh generation.

Note: Existing feed systems and cooling channels that are represented by beams, without underlying curves, will not be considered.
Note: Tetrahedral elements must be fully enclosed by the mold surface. Beam elements may protrude.
