For an accurate simulation, it is important that a minimum number of layers is defined through the thickness. The higher the number of laminae, the more accurate the result.
Although the accuracy of the result will improve with more layers through the thickness, up to a point, each additional layer will increase the analysis time and computer resource requirements.
The boundary conditions for the analysis defines how the heat transfer coefficients between the mold and the material are modelled. The default option allows you to enter specific values to different phases. The profile option allows you to define how the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) for the entire mold varies with time.
