Defining a new dimension scale factor

Note: Dimension scale factor is only available in the Variables tab of the DOE Builder for midplane and Dual Domain models.
  1. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup > Optimization) to open the DOE Builder.
  2. Select the Variables tab and scroll to the bottom of the left-hand panel to see Geometry Information.
  3. Click the check box associated with Dimension scale factor, to select it.
  4. In the right-hand panel, double click the Dimension scale factor box to open the Select Layers dialog.
  5. Select the layer that you are interested in analyzing, from the list, then click OK. Your selection will appear in the Dimension Scale factor box.
  6. Edit the range, if required.
    Note: You can define additional dimension scale factors using the other layers listed in the Select Layers dialog.
  7. Click New dimension variable A new Dimension scale factor entry is created with a check mark already entered.
  8. Repeat steps 4-6 above, to define the Dimension scale factor according to your needs.
  9. Click Next to move to the next tab, or Finish to close the DOE Builder and start the analysis.
