This page assumes you have a meshed model, you have set the injection location and you have set up the processing conditions to mimic the actual machine settings.
To run a DOE analysis,
- Click
() and select Design of Experiment (DOE) from the list of options. - Select the experiment type
- Choose which variables you would like to monitor
- Identify which quality criteria define a quality part for you
- Launch the analysis.
- Once the analysis is complete, study the results. If you find that your optimized part can be made with a combination of the variables you selected, rerun the analysis using those optimum conditions to verify. It is important that you verify your conditions.Note: If you decide that you need to change the value of some of the input variables, make a significant change, for example change the thickness by 20%-50% and rerun the DOE analysis. The effect of a small change, such as 1%-10% will be difficult to determine among the effect of all the other variables.Attention: Parallel solution (multi-threaded) technology is implemented by default for 3D analyses that include Fill + Pack. This option should be switched off for DOE analysis to improve the speed of the analysis.
