Specifying process settings for a Gate Location analysis

Specifying process settings allow you to customize the Gate Location analysis.

When you run a Gate Location analysis, you are not required to specify process settings other than the defaults. You may change the default settings if there are particular characteristics of your study that you want the Gate Location analysis to consider, or when you want to choose a different Gate Locator algorithm.

  1. Ensure that your model is meshed
  2. Make sure you have selected the Gate Location analysis, and a material.
  3. Click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), or double-click the Process Settings icon in the Study Tasks pane. The Gate Location Settings dialog appears.
  4. Change any of the settings as required.
    Note: The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm can only be used on a model that does not contain existing gates.
  5. Click OK.
