Selecting a Transient within cycle analysis

Make sure that you have a 3D model and have selected Thermoplastics Injection Molding.

1. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Sequence), and select the Cool (FEM) analysis of interest.
   Note: Transient cool analyses are only available for a Thermoplastic Injection molding process, using the finite element method (FEM) solver.
2. Notice that a Create Mold Mesh requirement appears in the Study Tasks pane, under the Cooling Circuit(s).
3. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings) to open the Process Setting Wizard - Cool (FEM) Settings dialog.
4. Select Transient within cycle from the Mold temperature options drop-down list.
5. Click on the Cool (FEM) Solver Parameters button and select whether to use the Conduction solver or the Flow solver (Flow analysis on every iteration) from the Transient, part heat flux calculation drop-down menu. The Conduction solver returns a faster result but the Flow solver may return a more accurate one.
6. Check the default values and edit them if necessary, then click OK.
   Note: Generally, the default settings should suffice.
7. Click Next, if necessary, to proceed through the Process Settings Wizard dialogs, then click OK to exit.
