The Quality result provides an indication of how the overall quality of your part will vary as the input variables mold temperature, melt temperature, and injection time vary.
This quality measure is derived from the results obtained for minimum flow front temperature, injection pressure, maximum cooling time, maximum shear rate, and maximum shear stress under a given set of molding conditions.
Better values for these individual quality criteria produce an overall better quality measure result. The quality measure will increase with reductions in injection pressure, maximum cooling time, maximum shear rate, and maximum shear stress and will increase within an increase in minimum flow front temperature.
The Quality result is generated by the Molding Window analysis.
The default plot shows the predicted part quality as a function of mold temperature. To explore the effect of melt temperature and/or injection time on the overall quality measure, right-click on Quality (molding window) in the Study Tasks pane and select Properties.
These controls are similar to those used in the post-processing of a number of Design of Experiments results and are designed to allow you to explore the effect of multiple input variables on a given target function, in this case the effect of mold temperature, melt temperature and injection time on a quality measure.
The variable that is checked is the variable displayed on the X axis and the slider for this variable is inactive. The other two sliders will be active and can be dragged to vary that variable. The value is always shown on the right.
Display one variable, and then drag the sliders of the other two to vary the displayed variable.
