Running a Runner Balance analysis

Run a Runner Balance analysis to alter runner dimensions, within constraints, to ensure part quality and identical cavity sizes. Creating a well-balanced runner system can result in considerable savings in material usage.

You can only perform a Runner Balance analysis if you have selected a multi-cavity mold type and created a runner system.

1. Open a model.
2. Click (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Analysis Sequence).
3. Select Runner Balance from the Select analysis sequence list, and then click OK. Once the analysis is finished the results appear in the Analysis Log.
4. Click (Home tab > Analysis panel > Start Analysis).

Once the analysis has finished, the Summary pane appears.

Note: Click (Home tab > Analysis panel > Job Manager > Abort Job) to abort the analysis.
