This dialog is used to alter the speed or accuracy of the analysis. It also enables you to increase the maximum number of iterations if the analysis is struggling to reach convergence.
To access this dialog, ensure that you have run the 3D mesher on your part, you have selected an analysis sequence that includes Cool (FEM), and in the Process Settings you have selected one of the Transient analysis options from the Mold temperature options drop-down menu. Click on the Cool (FEM) Solver Parameters button and select Flow analysis on every iteration from the Transient, part heat flux calculation section. Click the Settings button that appears.
| Dialog Property | Comment | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Transient mold temperature convergence tolerance for each time step | Enter a value between the limits specified. The convergence tolerance applies to the change in mold temperature, from one iteration to the next, within a single time step. The lower the tolerance the more accurate the result, but the longer the analysis. |
Flow solver only Default value: 0.01000 |
| Maximum number of transient mold temperature iterations for each time step | Select the maximum number of mold-temperature iterations you would like the analysis to perform for each time step. If the result does not converge before this maximum value, you will receive an error message. |
Flow solver only Default value: 50 |
