The Microcellular Control tab of the Process controller dialog is used to define the inputs for a Microcellular injection molding analysis.
| Dialog element | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bubble nucleation model |
There are two models that can be used to calculate microcellular injection molding results:
|
| Number of cells per volume - Constant nucleation density model only |
Enter a nucleation density value. |
| Initial gas amount |
The amount of gas dissolved in the plastic contributes to the bubble density and bubble size. You can define this in terms of:
|
| Initial gas concentration |
For the specific foaming gas that is dissolved in your melt, enter the percentage concentration in the melt at the beginning of the process. |
