Molding window process settings defaults dialog-Preferred/Feasible Window tab

The Preferred/Feasible Window tab of the Molding window process settings defaults dialog is used to specify default values for the limits used to calculate the preferred window and feasible window in a Molding Window analysis.

Note: The values used for the current analysis sequence may be changed by entering the desired values on the Process Settings Wizard-Molding Window Settings dialog.

Limits for calculation of feasible molding window	This section of the dialog lists the parameters taken into consideration in the calculation of the feasible molding window, and specifies any upper limits to be applied to those parameters. The feasible molding window calculates the largest possible range of injection times, mold temperatures and melt temperatures within which the part can be molded.
Limits for calculation of preferred molding window	This section of the dialog lists the parameters taken into consideration in the calculation of the preferred molding window, and specifies the upper limits to be applied to those parameters. The preferred molding window calculates the range of injection times, mold temperatures and melt temperatures within which the part can be molded based on a comprehensive set of limiting criteria intended to ensure the production of quality parts.
Shear rate limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the shear rate in the part and runner system when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
Shear stress limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the shear stress in the part and runner system when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
Flow front temp. drop limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the drop in temperature of the melt front when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
Flow front temp. rise limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the rise in temperature of the melt front when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
Injection pressure limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the injection pressure to fill the part when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
Clamp force limit	Specifies whether a limit (maximum value) is to be applied to the clamp force required to fill the part when calculating the preferred/feasible molding window.
