Overflow Well (3D) dialog-Overflow Well Properties tab

The Overflow Well Properties tab of this dialog is used to specify the overflow well related properties of the selected tetrahedral elements of type Overflow well (3D).

Prerequisites
Mesh type: 3D
Molding Process: Gas-assisted Injection Molding
Analysis sequence: Dependent on mesh type
Dialog location
Right-click an element with the property Overflow well (3D) select Properties and the Overflow Well Properties tab.

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

Dialog element Explanation
Local heat transfer coefficients Select the heat transfer coefficient method from the drop down list. The options are:
  • Use global setting in advanced options
  • Perfect contact
  • Local heat transfer coefficients
Occurrence numbers Occurrence numbers are used to specify the number of times that a given flow path is repeated in a model.

Enter the required occurrence number.
