Channel dialog-Mold Properties tab

The Mold Properties tab of the Channel dialog is used to specify the properties of the mold block containing the cooling channel.

Dialog elements

Mold material
Specifies the mold material in contact with the selected model feature.

The available options are:

Use global setting in advanced options
Select this option if you do not want to specify a local mold material in contact with this model feature.
Select a different mold material
Select this option if you want to specify a local mold material, different to the mold material specified in the advanced options, in contact with the top side of this model feature.
Note: Selecting a different mold material is a simple way to model the interface between the part and a mold insert, but you will get more accurate heat transfer results by modeling the insert as a separate volume.
