The following table summarizes the setup tasks required to prepare a Gate Location analysis.
The setup tasks below are for non fiber-filled, or fiber-filled thermoplastic materials.
| Setup task | Required for analysis technology |
|---|---|
| Molding processes |
|
| Meshing the model |
|
| Checking the mesh before analysis |
|
| Analysis sequences |
|
| Selecting a material |

Prohibited Gate Nodes
Note: Set prohibited gate nodes when using the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm.

Optional setup tasks
| Setup task | Supported for analysis technology |

Injection locations
Note: The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm does not work on models that contain existing gates.
|
|
Note: You can select between two algorithms when running a Gate Location analysis. If you have not set an injection location for your study, you can use either the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm or Gate Region Locator algorithm. If you have set one or more injection locations, then you can only use the Gate Region Locator algorithm.
