Process Settings Wizard dialog-Fill Settings for Overmolding Stage

This page of the Process Settings Wizard, which can be accessed by clicking (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), is used to specify the filling phase simulation related process settings for the overmolding (second component) stage of the overmolding analysis sequence.

Note: Some of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the mesh type, molding process and analysis sequence selected.

Dialog element	Explanation
Mold surface temperature	The temperature of the mold at the plastic-metal interface, where the plastic touches the mold.
Melt temperature	The temperature of the molten plastic, or melt, as it starts to flow into the cavity.
Filling control	Specifies the method by which the filling phase of the analysis is controlled.
Velocity/pressure switch-over	The criteria by which the molding machine will switch from velocity control to pressure control.
Pack/holding control	Specifies the method by which the pressure phase of the molding process is controlled.
Advanced options for overmolding stage	Displays the advanced options for the analysis.
Fiber orientation analysis if fiber material	Enables a Fiber orientation analysis if the material includes fiber.
