Specifying the velocity/pressure switch-over by pressure control point

The pressure control point is a sensor that is used to detect pressure values during an analysis. If you specify a pressure control point at a node, you can specify a pressure, at that node, that the algorithm changes from velocity phase control to pressure phase control.

Tip: First determine the entity number of the node on which you want to specify the pressure control point. This can be done by selecting the node on the model and checking the number that is updated in the Select Saved Selection List drop-down list in the Selection toolbar.

1. Click Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings, or double-click the Process Settings icon in the Study Tasks pane.
2. In the Velocity/pressure switch-over drop-down list, select By pressure control point.
3. Click Edit settings.
4. Enter the number of the Node where you want the pressure control point specified.
5. Enter the Pressure at the selected node at which you want the process to switch from the velocity phase to the packing phase.
6. Click OK twice.
