This page of the Process Settings Wizard, which can be accessed by clicking 
(), is used to specify the Cool analysis related process settings for the selected analysis sequence.
Note: Some of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the analysis technology, molding process and analysis sequence selected.
| Dialog Properties | Comment |
|---|---|
| Melt temperature | The temperature of the molten plastic, or melt, as it starts to flow into the cavity. |
| Mold-open time | Specify the time taken from the completion of one molding cycle, to the beginning of the next. |
| Mold-close time before injection | If, while the mold is closed, you need to delay the injection, for example if you want the mold to heat up to temperature prior to injection, enter the delay time here. |
| Injection + packing + cooling time (thermoplastic injection molding and thermoplastics injection compression molding) | Injection + packing + cooling time is equivalent to the total cycle time minus the mold-open time. You can either specify this time directly, or calculate this time automatically during the analysis. |
| Injection + packing + curing time (reactive molding, reactive injection-compression, and microchip encapsulation only) | Injection + packing + curing time is equivalent to the total cycle time minus the mold-open time. You can either specify this time directly, or calculate this time automatically during the analysis. |
| Compression + cooling time (thermoplastic compression molding only) | Compression + cooling time is equivalent to the total cycle time minus the mold-open time. You can either specify this time directly, or calculate this time automatically during the analysis. |
| Compression + curing time (reactive compression molding only) | Compression + curing time is equivalent to the total cycle time minus the mold-open time. You can either specify this time directly, or calculate this time automatically during the analysis. |
| Edit target ejection criteria (thermoplastic injection molding) | Used to specify the part ejection criteria for a Cool analysis. Edit the variables as appropriate. |
| Mold temperature options | Select the type of simulation you would like to perform on the mold; Averaged within cycle, Transient within cycle, or Transient from production start-up |
| Cool (FEM) Solver Parameters | Displays the Cool analysis related solver parameters for the selected analysis sequence. |
| Advanced options | Displays the advanced options for the analysis. |
