Core-back Data Dialog

This dialog is used to specify the core-back properties for the Microcellular injection molding related process.

Prerequisites
Mesh type: 3D
Molding Process: Thermoplastics Microcellular Injection Molding
Analysis sequence: Includes Fill + Pack
Dialog location
Click Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings). Select Include Core-back (Microcellular) and click Edit data.
Dialog element Explanation
Core-back open distance The amount that the mold opens during post-filling.

The mold opening amount is typically comparable to the cavity thickness.

Core-back opening speed versus distance The speed profile of mold opening.
Note: When the opening speed is too fast or if the opening distance is too big, the mechanical stretching of the bubbles or gaps between the mold wall and the resin can occur in reality.
Core-back opening direction The core-back opens in the +Z or -Z direction
