Solver message 702660

Message text

** ERROR 702660 ** Conformal cooling is not supported in Cool. Cool (FEM) supports conformal cooling. If possible, model the Channel (3D) elements as one dimensional Channel elements. Alternatively, use Cool (FEM).

Explanation

To run an analysis with the Cool solver, your cooling channels must include beam elements, not tetrahedral elements. Your cooling system has been meshed with a 3D mesh, which will not run with the Cool solver.

Resolution

You can resolve this in one of two ways:
  • Model the cooling channels as 1-dimensional channel elements, then rerun the Cool analysis.
  • Change your analysis sequence to include Cool (FEM) instead of Cool. To change your analysis sequence click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup tab > Analysis Sequence) and select an analysis sequence that includes Cool (FEM).
