Flux, part (top) result

The Flux, part (top) result shows the average rate of heat flow across the top (blue) mold/part interface during the cycle.

The surface flux is affected by the Mold-melt Heat Transfer Coefficients (HTC) values.

Tip: This is set in the advanced options of the Process Settings.

A lower HTC value represents a greater resistance to heat transfer between the polymer and the mold.

This result is available for Midplane analysis technology only.

Using this result

Use this result to find localized hot or cold spots, and determine whether they will affect cycle time and part warpage. If there are hot or cool spots, you may need to adjust the cooling channels.
