| Dialog element | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mold density |
Specifies the mass of a unit volume of the mold. The values (0:30) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter. |
| Mold specific heat |
Specifies the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of the mold by one degree. The numbers (0:2000) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter. |
| Mold thermal conductivity |
Specifies the quantity of heat that flows in one second along a unit distance of the mold when the temperature of the faces of the mold differ by one degree. The numbers (0:1000) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter. |
| Mold coefficient of thermal expansion |
Predicts the effect of the mold expansion on part quality in a Warp analysis. The numbers (0:10) indicate the range of acceptable values you can enter. |
