Ensure that the following tasks have been completed before you start meshing.
| Action | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Assign properties to each model component | Depending on their properties, the components are meshed with distinct meshing tools. For example, set Mold surface property to your mold before you can use the Mold mesh tool. |
| Set the sequence analysis | Especially if you plan to use a sequence analysis that includes Cool or Cool(FEM), as it is one of the requirements to access the Mold mesh tool. |
| Set the boundary conditions | The mesher is considering some boundary conditions. For example, the mesh is automatically refined around the injection location. If you know where you want to set the gates and the injection location, set them before meshing. |
