Specifying the compression direction

The compression direction is set as -Z, by default. For models with 3D meshes you can change this to +Z if you prefer.

1. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings).
2. Click Next one or more times to advance to the Compression Settings page.
3. Specify the Compression direction option you want to use in the analysis.
   • -Z. This is the default setting. Compression is along the Z-axis in the negative direction.
   • +Z. Compression is along the Z-axis in the positive direction.
4. When you have completed all of the compressions settings, click Finish.
