Advanced Options Dialog

This dialog is used to specify the advanced options for the first injection unit, which controls Material A for a Co-injection Molding or Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process analysis.

Prerequisites
Analysis technology: Midplane Midplane mesh
Molding Process: Co-injection molding or Thermoplastics Bi-injection
Analysis sequence: Includes Fill or Fill+Pack
Dialog location
Click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings > Next), and then click Advanced options. .

All solver parameters have a default value that is suitable for most analyses.

Dialog element Explanation
Molding material Select and edit the material to analyze.
Process controller Allows you to select and edit a process controller to control the injection molding process during the analysis. You can control the filling phase, velocity/pressure switch-over point, pack/holding phase, mold temperature and mold-open time.
Injection molding machine Select and edit an injection molding machine to simulate your molding machine during the analysis. You can configure the injection unit, hydraulic unit, and clamping unit.
Mold material Allows you to select and edit the mold material to be used during the analysis. You can specify the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of the mold material.
Solver parameters Allows you to select and edit the solver parameters to be used during the analysis.
