Balancing a runner system

Use the Runner Balance analysis to balance plastic fill through a runner system that is not naturally balanced.

The Runner Balance analysis investigates the mold and determines which runner sections should be made thicker or thinner. The runner layout will stay the same.

1. Open or create a model with a runner system.
   Tip: Set runner balance constraints for your runners to optimize them to within a minimum and maximum range, where possible, or to stop them from resizing.
2. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Sequence).
3. Select Runner Balance from the Select analysis sequence list, and then click OK. Once the analysis is finished the results appear in the Analysis Log.
   Note: If necessary, adjust the Process Settings to comply with the pressure tolerance.
