Editing heat transfer effectiveness properties

The heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) is a required input for a Cool analysis that specifies the heat extraction efficiency of mold surfaces, including cooling circuits (channels), baffles, bubblers, or connectors. An HTE value of 1 indicates that the mold feature only absorbs heat, while an HTE value of 0 indicates that the feature absorbs no heat from the mold.

  1. Click Select, Viewer toolbar.
  2. Click on the mold feature that you want to assign an HTE for.
  3. Right-click on the highlighted mold feature and select Properties. If the mold feature is not yet created, click Assign (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Assign) and create a New mold feature.
  4. In the Heat Transfer Effectiveness box, enter the required value.
  5. Click OK.
