The Temperature, circuit coolant (transient from start-up) result shows how the temperature of the coolant in the cooling channels changes during each cycle, until the mold temperature stabilizes.
Using this result
Use this result to determine whether the cooling channels are cooling effectively, and whether their placement will affect cycle time and part warpage. If there are hot or cool spots, you may need to adjust the cooling channels, or coolant temperature. Cooling channel placement and the thermal conductivity of the mold will affect the temperature variations.
Tip: You can create an XY plot of the transient circuit coolant temperature during production start-up, on any given node to see how the temperature at that node varies with time. Click on

When viewing the Temperature, circuit coolant (transient from start-up) result, watch for the following.
- Localized hot or cold spots.
- The cooling pattern. Is it evenly distributed?
