Fiber Interaction Calculation Parameters dialog

This dialog is used to enter specific values for the Coefficient of interaction (Ci) and Thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) settings that will be used in the calculation of fiber interactions.

To access this dialog, ensure that you have selected an analysis sequence that includes Fill+Pack , click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), if necessary click Next one or more times to navigate to the Fill+Pack Settings page of the Wizard, select the option Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material, click Fiber parameters, set the Calculate fiber interactions using option to Moldflow model with specified Ci and Dz values , then click Edit settings.

Note: The default settings will be appropriate for most simulations. This dialog has been provided for specialist users conducting research into the fluid mechanics of fiber-filled materials.
Thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) Specifies the thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) value that will be used in the calculation of fiber interactions.
Coefficient of interaction (Ci) The fiber interaction coefficient (Ci) is an empirical constant that characterizes the effect of fiber-fiber interaction in concentrated suspensions.
