The Maximum temperature position, part result is generated from a Cool analysis, and shows the position of the Maximum temperature, part result in a plastic element relative to the bottom side (value = 0.0) of the element during the cycle.
Using this result
- For uniform cooling in parts which are 100% plastic, the relative position of the peak temperature should equal 0.5.
Note: Thick plastic elements will normally take the longest to cool.
Things to look for
- Check that the part has cooled uniformly, or, that the part maximum temperature position is 0.5.
Note: For Cool analyses using Dual Domain analysis technology, the surface containing the specified element is assigned the value 1 and the opposite surface is assigned the value 0. Thus the value shown will depend on the side of the model being viewed.
